La Regina
The place of origin of this wine is, like our other wines, Piombino in Val di Corina, Italy. Mit 0 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, La Regina becomes a glow of ecstasy. The vines, growing south-east & north-west on clayey-calcareous mineral-rich soil, are hand-picked in September, when phenolic maturity is reached, and carefully collected in crates. The grapes are aged for 18 months in Allier oak barrels. After blending, the fine drop is stored in steel tanks until bottling. The grapes de-stemmed_gently-gently bb3b-136bad5cf58d_pressed. The fermentation process takes place at controlled temperature in thermoconditioned steel tanks for 20-25 days. The Spontaneous mololactic fermentation occurs at the end of the alcoholic fermentation. Finally, the inspiring wine is further matured in bottles for over 6 months before it can be passed on. The small edition of the grandiose drop, which only a few but impressive bottles can be expected, is particularly captivating. At times only 1,000 bottles can be produced.
