Falesco Vitiano Rosso

Description

”THE GRAPE AND THE VINEYARD The renown of white Umbrian wines is a historical one, yet the quality of the reds is a real breakthrough. They are the evidence of how these hills represent a splendid and variegated show-case of wine in all its diverse and foremost aspects, on condition that the varieties are selected carefully, the production of the grapes is limited to 2 kilos per vine and vinification is extremely clean and technically correct.THE VINIFICATION Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese are the varieties making up this wine. The vinification process, which takes place at different times depending on the varieties, includes a long maceration, a lot of pumping-over and hand pressing. The malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques after blending the wines coming from 3 different varieties.THE WINE With Vitiano we have tried to achieve a young red wine with explosive, luscious aromatic fragrance. This wine has a wonderful, deep, intense ruby red colour with important, solid, and wide organoleptic qualities, but above all it exalts the food it is combined with. It is very rich in polyphenols which harmonize with its fresh, tasty acidity. It is versatile red, quite innovative in style which can be appreciated immediately. It adapts easily to various dishes and can be drunk litghtheartedly drawing great pleasure from the sharp fragrance of its perfumes and its straightforward character. It should be drunk in wide crystal chalices where it can best develop its bouquet at a temperature of 18-19C.” – Falesco
