Giramonte

In Castiglioni, the 2023 vintage kicked off with a promising budding that began in early April. The spring days were cool and rainy, favouring a lush development of the shoots and subsequently the grape clusters. During the summer period, the temperatures became warmer, resulting in a beautiful veraison and a good concentration of nutrients in the grapes. The absence of rain during the harvest period yielded healthy, perfectly ripened grapes.

Vinification and ageing: The vineyard is located 200 metres above sea level, planted in loamy soils with a southwestern exposure. The Merlot and Sangiovese grapes were selected by hand. The alcoholic fermentation took place spontaneously in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature, with light pumping over, especially during the first few days. Malolactic fermentation took place in new French oak barriques, where the wine was then left to mature over the following months. The additional period of ageing in the bottle gave us a Giramonte with remarkable organoleptic qualities: the fruit of a beautiful vintage.

Organoleptic Notes: Giramonte 2023 is a beautiful, deep and bold shade of ruby red with purple hues. The bouquet is extremely complex, with enveloping fruit notes reminiscent of juicy, ripe red and black berries and plums. These elements then give way to notes of sweet spices and splendid tertiary aromas reminiscent of roasting, cocoa powder and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is broad and full-bodied, with a dense and silky tannic texture. The finish is extremely long and persistent.
