Sangiovese 88% and Canaiolo 12%, with soils primarily composed of galestro
\nand alberese, along with a smaller percentage of macigno and sandstone.
\nThe 2023 vintage was marked by a dry winter and temperatures above the
\nseasonal average. Spring proved to be challenging due to high humidity levels,
\nrequiring careful and constant vineyard management.
\nThanks to the dedicated work in the vineyard and a warm, favourable summer,
\nthe health of the grapes was preserved. The cooler temperatures in September,
\ntogether with a good day\u2013night temperature range, allowed for balanced grape
\nripening. Despite the challenging growing season, the 2023 harvest yielded
\ngrapes of excellent quality. Harvesting began in the first days of October. The
\ngrapes destined for Capotondo were hand-harvested and immediately
\ntransported to the cellar<\/p>\n
Fermentation took place in concrete and stainless-steel tanks, with skin contact
\nlasting up to a maximum of 30\u201335 days. The wine was then aged mainly in
\nconcrete and, to a lesser extent (approximately 40%), in large oak casks and
\nfourth- and fifth-use barriques for about one year.
\nAfter a total cellar ageing period of around one and a half years, the wine was
\nbottled and further refined in bottle for over 8 months before release.<\/p>\n
Deep ruby red colour with pleasant violet hues. Good structure, balanced acidity
\nand freshness, with predominant floral notes of red rose and violet. Aromas of
\nred fruits prevail, with hints of ripe berries such as blackberry, blueberry, cherry
\nand plum, complemented by light spicy nuances. A wine of great harmony,
\ntypicity and balance, with strong character.<\/p>\n
A wine with a distinctive personality that highlights the position of Castelvecchi,
\nlocated between 450 and 600 meters in altitude. It promises to evolve superbly
\nover time, showcasing great longevity.<\/p>\n
A wine with broad drinkability, excellent throughout the meal, and perfect for
\naccompanying flavorful first courses such as lasagna with mushrooms and
\nsausage, roasted red meats, charcuterie boards, and medium-aged cheeses.<\/p>\n
Tasting at 18 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n
