The grapes come from two renowned \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e: Via Bolgherese and Le Sondraie, both facing west and south-west. The former is characterised by deep red sandy soils, rich in stones and slightly sub-alkaline. The latter features \u003cstrong\u003eclay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e and loose sands, with a high concentration of magnesium and iron. This geological synergy ensures the development of flourishing vines, giving the sip a harmonious balance and remarkable ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming and gentle pressing, vinification begins with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature for twelve days. The subsequent malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in wood, promoting precise structural integration. The fifteen-month maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, divided between new and second-use wood, enhances the softness without masking the original fruity character. This meticulous process gives an intense ruby red colour and a balanced \u003cstrong\u003eacid structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in a pleasant and smooth drink.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elegant \u003cstrong\u003eBolgheri Rosso DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e pays tribute to the Seggio, the main watercourse of Castagneto Carducci.
