Campaner Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2020

Vintage

A relatively milde winter was followed by a dry March and a dry and warm April, and flowering set in somewhat earlier than usual. There were no long heatwaves in the summer. In spite of this, the head start in the vegetation cycle became shorter and shorter up to the harvest, and the first grapes were harvested at the beginning of September, with the last load reaching the winery on October 9. The white wines of the 2020 vintage present with an appealing acidity; the reds are impressive for their elegance and finesse.

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
