Seselle

2023 Valtènesi DOC

From the oldest vineyard located in the hearth of Valtènesi, borns our “Seselle”, a red wine with a good structure and rare balance, soft and rightly tannic that tells us the story of Valtènesi “in red”. After a maceration process of the must of approximately 14 days, the separation from the peels takes place through soft pressing by an automatic press. The new wine may thus continue its fermentation by controlled temperature and selected yeasts. The product obtained is a wine of intense and complex aroma and taste, which requires an aging and refinement period of at least one year. Perfect for the most important dishes of red meat, but also aged cheeses and cold cuts.

SEASON 2023
The 2023 season had completely different connotations compared to previous harvests. Between November and February there were constant rains and good snowfalls in the Alpine and pre-Alpine areas, in particular Monte Baldo remained white until the end of March. Budding began in line with the 2022 vintage, in fact, the first cottony buds showed themselves around March 14th. Until the end of April, the climate was mild and windy, allowing the vine to sprout constantly and gradually. From May onwards, however, heavy and constant rainfall occurred, heralding a season that would not be easy from an agronomic point of view. The development of the bunch was slowed down by the sudden vegetative push of the vine, resulting in a delay of around 15 days compared to the 2022 vintage. Complete veraison occurred with a strong general delay, leading the grapes to accumulate high point of acidity until the end of September. Fortunately, as with the last 2 years, the harvest was accompanied by a phase of general good weather, in fact the months of September and October proved to be dry and constantly windy. The first bunch was harvested on the night of September 6th and the extraction of the first musts demonstrated the particularity of the season. The rainy and cool climate characterized the vintage, making it unique from the point of view of gustatory and aromatic freshness.

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, the two wines are assembled in a stainless-steel tank. After a short rest the blend concludes its refinement with 6 months in the bottle.
SENSORY ANALYSIS
Deep ruby ​​red color with garnet highlight. The scent ranges between the toasting of the different woods: vanilla, cocoa and a light balsamic note on the finish. On the palate it is a wine of rare balance, fine, elegant and persistent which refers to the fruity and spicy aromas perceived in the olfactory phase.
FOOD PAIRINGS
It perfectly accompanies red meat dishes and the typical “spiedo alla bresciana”. Also recommended with aged and soft cheeses such as gorgonzola, taleggio and stracchino.
