SEASON 2020

A rainy winter full of snow in the mountains led to a warm spring and a few typical April showers. Sprouting was steady with no major delays. Good flowering led to excellent production with slow but steady millerandage and veraison. Heavy temperature swings between day and night temperature in September accompanied us during the harvest phase.

HARVEST

3rd OCTOBER

VINIFICATION

The Seselle wine follows the typical red wine fermentation with the separate vinification of the two grapes. Once in the winary, after pressing and destemming, the grapes ferment directly in the tank, at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts and maceration on their skins. During the 15 days of alcoholic fermentation constant pumping over and punching down are carried out to keep the pomace cap submerged. At the end of this process, the racking and the separation between “vino fiore” and pressed wine takes place. The malolactic fermentation then begins, which transforms the malic acid into lactic acid, giving the wine greater softness. A precise blend is then necessary to balance the part of “vino fiore” with the pressed wine, with the aim of balancing its structure with the right amount of tannins. Subsequently the two wines are blended in stainless steel tanks.
After a short rest, the blend concludes its refinement with 6 months in the bottle.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

dark ruby red color. The nose immediately expresses the toastiness of different woods, the smell of vanilla and cocoa emerge clearly. In the mouth you can taste all the characteristics of the great Lake Garda’s red wines in which the elegance and minerality fully reflect the characteristics of the terroir from which this great wine originates.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Enjoyable with any type of meat. Best suggested with white meats, such as stew rabbit, and the local “spiedo bresciano con polenta”.
