Edizione Rossa

Description: This Edizione Rossa is a Cabernet Sauvignon which is unequalled for us because of its selection from the best barriques after about two year storage and then a further year of maturity in barriques. It is a creation which deliberately breaks the ranks. Its complexity in aroma and palette, and in particular its strength and versatility, make this Amistar Edizione Cabernet Sauvignon especially interesting for discerning moments.

Land: The land goes from loam to deep porphyry.

Harvest: Various harvest times between the end of September and the beginning to middle of October because of the different locations. The Amistar concept requires a minimum of 19.0° KLM.

Development: Mechanical removal of the stems, traditional mash fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Juice extraction of about 30 % in order to obtain an extreme ratio between juice and skins. That is, more skins and much less must in order to guarantee an ideal maceration or extraction respectively for the Amistar concept. When fermentation is completed the wine is extracted from the marc, all batches of Cabernet Sauvignon are then assembled in the available quantity parts of this vintage and then stored in barrique casks for biological acid degradation and for a 2 years developement.
