TOSCANA ROSSO Contessa Carolina

Grapes

83% Merlot, 17% Cabernet

Soil Geology

Parcel selections characterised by clearly visible outcrops of less fertile "Galestro" schistose stratifications, extremely well suited to quality viticulture.

Harvest

Second week of September (Merlot), second ten days of October (Cabernet).

Vinification

Vinification takes place in concrete tanks that are not coated with epoxy paint, filled by gravity, gently accompanying the grapes into the tank. Pumping over and pressing are carried out throughout the entire period of storage in the tank (up to 35 days).

Ageing And Refinement

The racking and pressing of the pomace is carried out using a vertical press. This is followed by a 12-month ageing period in 5 hl tonneaux, with some batches aged in first and second passage barriques and large barrels.

Serving_Temp

16-18°C

With an intense purple-red colour with ruby-red violet reflections, almost impenetrable, this wine immediately reveals an intriguing pedigree: the bouquet is rich in black and red fruits, enriched with aromas of spices, mocha and mineral notes of graphite. The palate is dense and concentrated, and its tannins reveal a search for perfect phenolic maturity, ripe to the point of creating a velvety wine from the first sip, both powerful and elegant. Ageing in medium-small wood confers remarkable persistence and vast ageing potential.

Tenuta Casenuove IGT Toscana is the perfect encounter between vigour and softness that reveals the new potential of an ancient terroir.
