Villa da Filicaja Bolgheri DOC Magnum 1,5 ℓ, In Holzkiste

The Bolgheri of the Conte di Villa da Filicaja collection was born in the Livorno town of Castagneto Carducci, in the heart of the magical Bolgheri terroir. It is obtained with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, harvested following a careful selection. After a short cold maceration, the must ferments spontaneously for 15-20 days at controlled temperature. The refinement takes place in oak barrels for at least 12 months and for a further 3 months in the bottle before being placed on the market. It has a deep ruby red color with purple reflections. It is characterized by a complex and refined perfume, with hints of berries in the foreground, accompanied by herbaceous and menthol notes. In the mouth it reveals a wine of great balance, with good minerality and flavor that contrast with a good structure and body. Excellent to accompany with red meats and aged cheeses, it is suitable for pairings with roasted chicken and game recipes.
