Campaner Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2022

Vintage

The winter months of 2022 were markedly poor in precipitation. Only April brought significant rain and replenished the groundwater somewhat. May was one of the warmest on record and gave a strong boost to vegetation. The entire summer was marked by drought and was reminiscent of the summers of 2003 and 2015. The ripening of the grapes progressed rapidly and already on August 24 the first grapes were delivered to the winery. As the autumn also brought hardly any precipitation, the grape harvest went smoothly and excellent grapes were harvested. As early as mid-October, the grape harvest came to an end.

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.

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.
