Log in / Sign up Castelvecchio Il Brecciolino Rosso Toscana IGT 2015
With this particular blend, we aspire to find the perfect harmony among the 3 grapes, respecting the nuances of every vintage. Hand-picked selection of the grapes and the result of an accurate vinification process. Cold maceration for 48 hours, fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel, daily pumping over, and gentle pressing. Aging of 18 months in oak barrels and further refinement in bottle before being presented on the market.
The name of the wine recalls the gravel, in particular the small pebbles that cover the country roads, also used to drain the vineyards. The name underlines the strong link with the territory as the first wine made under Filippo Rocchi’s direction.
Aged firm cheeses
Intense ruby red tending towards garnet hues on aging. Aromas of cherry and plum, the aroma of sweet spices, pepper, red rose, tobacco, and vanilla.
Harmoniously blended, full-bodied, long and persistent, soft tannins with a pleasant level of acidity.
