Badia Crepaldo

Toscana Rosso I.G.T.

Description

Badia Crepaldo is made half with Cabernet Sauvignon and then with variable percentages of Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. The imposing structure and profound persistence suggest potential aging appropriate to great red wines.

The label is inspired by the abbey which around the year 1000 gave its name to the town, Abbadia di Montepulciano, where our company resides.

Production

During the harvest, strictly manual, only the best bunches that have reached perfect ripeness are selected. Once in the cellar, the bunches are destemmed and the grapes transferred to the fermentation vats.

During the alcoholic fermentation, which lasts approximately 15 days, punching down is carried out daily and, once completed, the wine is transferred to French oak tonneaux where it rests for approximately 15 months. Afterwards the wine stays for about three months on a single large barrel after being assembled. After this time we proceed with bottling and relative refinement in the bottle for a minimum of six months.
