Frescobaldi Terre More Maremma Toscana Cabernet DOC 2019

The 2019 growing season varied greatly. After a harsh, dry winter, the plants began growing very early, starting in March. A cold, rainy period followed, which slowed down the growth of the vines slightly but resulted in the water reserves being restored in preparation for what was to be a hot, and on some days extremely hot, summer. The vineyards reacted well and when it came time to harvest the grapes, they were in great physiological shape. The decent weather conditions during summer resulted in very healthy grapes with excellent phenolic ripeness, which, while ripening, developed exquisite aromas.

The grapes were carefully harvested and delivered to the cellar. Afterwards, they were de-stemmed and mashed in steel tanks. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature. The wine was then aged in second and third-passage French oak barriques. The subsequent bottle-aging period enabled the wine to develop balance and fulfill every ounce of its potential.
