Vinification of Collezione Privata Cabernet Sauvignon by Isole e Olena The grapes are cultivated in the sun-drenched vineyards of Tuscany, where the Mediterranean climate with warm summer days and cool nights provides optimal conditions for ripe, aromatic grape development. The vines grow on well-drained clay soils that guarantee a balanced water supply and promote full grape ripening. The harvest typically takes place from late September to early October, when the grapes have reached full maturity. Careful selection of the grapes at the sorting table ensures the quality and purity of the basis for this fine wine. During vinification, the grapes are gently destemmed and lightly crushed to preserve the fruit aromas. The must ferments at controlled temperatures between 26 and 30 degrees Celsius, promoting optimal extraction of color and tannins. The mash is regularly stirred to improve tannin integration and flavor coordination. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation follows, imparting a velvety texture and delicate flavor components to the wine. The wine matures in French oak barrels for 14 to 18 months, which gives it complex oak notes such as vanilla and cedar. During this period, the wine matures slowly and harmoniously, allowing the tannin-rich structure to integrate softly. The flagship of this aging phase is the development of a dense, elegant texture and a multi-layered aromatic profile. After bottling, the wine rests for several months to fully develop its complex facets. This deliberate vinification process guarantees the creation of an impressive wine with a comprehensive taste that clearly reflects its origin and quality.
