Cabernet 'Istrice' Elena...
VINTAGE 2022<br />An excellent vintage 2022 is awaiting you! As a result of the warm, stable summer, grapes of the very best health and with balanced values have reached our cellar. The<br />2022 wine year began with a warm spring, which led to an early start of flowering. The succeeding summer was consistently dry and warm-to-hot by the midsummer. The<br />drought did not cause any problems, not at least thanks to our irrigation systems and smart technology. The warm summer months have resulted in extraordinarily healthy<br />grapes of very good quality and maturity. The acidity values were somewhat lower due to the vintage, but well balanced and were supported by targeted foliage work during<br />the summer months, and a slightly earlier harvest. The first grapes were harvested at the end of August - as always entirely by hand. Overall, the wines show complexity,<br />great structure and very good fruit.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />Traditional must fermentation for approximately 10 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in large oak vats. The final wine matures for 12 months<br />in French oak barriques and is being bottle-aged for several months before being released.<br /><br />Alcohol: 14,50 % Vol<br />
