I Luoghi Rosso

About this wine

I Luoghi Rosso is the estate's entry-level Bolgheri DOC, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the property's high-density vineyards in Castagneto Carducci. The grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and extended maceration of at least 24 days, followed by roughly 18 months of aging in French oak barriques. The result is a deep ruby-red wine with violet reflections, offering aromas of ripe cherry and raspberry layered with spice, vanilla, and a light toasted-wood note, backed by the vineyard's classic Bolgheri structure.
