Description
“Le Serre Nuove”, 2011 – perfectly balanced, seductive wine, whose first vintage was released in 1997. In a blend of wine grape varieties include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc. 2011 was characterized by hot and dry weather conditions. This was the reason that the harvest was much earlier than planned. Harvest began to gather at the end of August, and completed by the end of September. The grapes are harvested by hand. Further, grapes sorted twice, and then subjected to gentle compression. Each grape variety is fermented separately in special stainless steel containers for 10-15 days. Fermentation temperature is maintained within 26-30 C. Then the wine is in the process of maceration, which lasts about 10 days. Extract of wine in special French oak barrels lasts 12 months. Then the wine is further blended and maintained for 3 months. The wine is bottled and aged in the cellars of the winery for 6 months. Only after this time-consuming work and bulk wine sold.
