Vigneto Bellavista Gran Selezione Tinto

Description

Castello di Ama The Bellavista vineyard covers 22.82 hectares, of which 9.30 were replanted between 1974 and 1978 and 13.52 in 2007. The 22-plot site was terraced to improve exposure and ensure more even ripening. In the best vintages, plots 1 to 19 of Malvasia Nera and plots 21 and 22 of Sangiovese contribute most to this selection of vines. Each variety is vinified with ambient yeasts in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 30–33 °C. Manual pump-overs are carried out over 22 days for the Sangiovese and 26 days for the Malvasia Nera, with total cuvaison. The wines are transferred separately to barrels for malolactic fermentation and then blended. Aging: 18% new fine-grain oak barrels, the remainder used, for 10 months Awards 98/100 Robert Parker; 97/100 James Suckling Allergen information Contains sulphites. SKU: 106728
