Description
Indaco (in-da-ko) is Italian for “Indigo.” It is often the color of the sky at sunset at Tenuta Sette Cieli. Indaco is one of the very few examples of Malbec dominant wines in Tuscany.
VINTAGE NOTES
2020 began with a mild, rainy winter. March brought very low temperatures, though without causing any frost damage. Spring was generally warm with sufficient rainfall, leading to healthy vegetative growth in the plants. The first half of June brought rain, building up water reserves for the hot, dry period that followed. September’s hot, breezy conditions accelerated the ripening of the Merlot grapes. Late September through early October saw significant rainfall (220 mm), coinciding with the final ripening stage of the Cabernet grapes. This led to cooler temperatures, creating ideal conditions for grape maturation.
WINEMAKING
Cold with dry ice for a couple of days. In stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures; with indigenous yeast; 100% malolactic.
TASTING NOTES
Malbec, Cabernet and Merlot come together perfectly in this stimulating, complex and structured wine, better expressing the complex and rich terroir with spicy and red fruit aromas. Freshness, structure, persistence — this is a wine that preserves unchanged traits of the original season and terroir, intensified by 12 months in French oak.
