Salita im 3,0 Liter Doppelmagnum Format

Salita entsteht ausschließlich aus unserem kostbarsten Weinberg, unserem Grand Cru. In die fünfzehn höchsten Terrassen, die zum Weingut führen, passen nur in ein bis drei Reihen Sangiovese-Buschreben. Ein einzigartiger Ausdruck von Castagnoli‘s Terroir.

Reifung & Verfeinerung

Aged for 24 months in French Oak Barriques and refined in bottle for a minimum of seven months before release.

Our Grand Cru: Salita

Form der Anbauung

Alberello

Vinifikation

Grapes are picked by hand in small boxes. Alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous with natural yeasts in 1 ton vats. The extraction of color and tannins is facilitaed by punching down. Maceration of skins is occuring very delicately: Berries are falling from the destemmer directly into the vats without passing through a pump or tubes, hence remaining intact and crush solely due to the weight of berries themselves. Malolactic fermentation takes place in neutral barriques.

Jahrgang

A cool spring, warm summer and cold fall caused the fruits to ripen slowly and evenly. Harvest conditions were ideal. The wines of 2016 are very complex: Richness and depth, combined with freshness.

Salita is our truest and most unique representation of Sangiovese in Castagnoli. Olive trees grow together with the Salita alberello bush vines, like it has been traditionally done in Tuscany for centuries. At the highest elevation of Castagnoli at 450 meters above sea level, the vines produce fascinating complexity and character.

James Suckling

92 Punkte: "Attraktiv frische und saftige rote Kirscharomen führen zu einem Gaumen, der einen sehr weichen, geschmeidigen und eleganten Kern aus frischen, saftigen Tanninen hat. Trinken oder halten."

Falstaff

91 Punkte: "Leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase betont elegante Holzwürze, nach Vanille, Brombeeren, an leichtes Karamell erinnernd, im Nachhall getrocknetes Veilchenblatt. Zeigt am Gaumen einen saftigen Nerv, präsentes, nicht aufdringliches Holz, dunkle Beerenfrucht rundet das Finale ab."
