Campaner Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2018

Vintage

Overall, the weather was very good in the 2018 wine-growing year. Precipitation in winter and spring provided sufficient moisture and thus ideal fruiting conditions. Long hours of sunshine and above-average temperatures in summer and autumn led to very dry conditions compensated by some heavy thunderstorms in August. Thanks to the optimum weather conditions in late summer, it was possible to harvest a healthy and ripe grape crop.

Tasting notes

– dark, ruby red
– ripe blackberries, wild cherries and chocolate on the nose
– a powerful beginning on the palate, with increasing tannins, prominent fruit and a long, lingering finish

Recommendation

This wine pairs perfectly with red meats, game and piquant cheeses.

Vinification

Fermentation on the skins at 28 °C, two week extended maceration, malolactic and 16 month aging in barrique (1/4 new oak), a light filtration before bottling.

Vineyard

Steep, southerly exposed slopes at 250 – 350 meters above sea level. Loamy, chalky, stoney gravel, heat-retaining and well-drained
