Its deep ruby red colour, enhanced by subtle violet hues, introduces a complex bouquet dominated by \u003cstrong\u003esmall fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, tobacco and leather, with balsamic nuances, black tea, mint and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, substantial and enveloping, maintaining remarkable overall harmony. The structure is supported by \u003cstrong\u003erefined tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that guide the elegant fruit towards a \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e and a broad finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, from the renowned plots of Rancia Piccola and Poggiolo. In these vineyards, cultivated using the simple Guyot system, the aim is to allow the Cabernet Sauvignon to express the pure identity of the terroir. The \u003cstrong\u003esoils of Berardenga\u003c\/strong\u003e feature a blend of sand and limestone, enriched by a strong mineral component of marine origin, with the presence of pebbles and the typical \u003cstrong\u003ewhite alberese limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e. This specific geological composition gives the wine a solid structure and enhances its characteristic \u003cstrong\u003esmoky and spicy notes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the destemmed bunches are sent for \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature. Maceration lasts from sixteen to twenty days, with daily punch-downs and pump-overs to ensure precise extraction. The wine then matures for about twenty months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of first and second passage. The use of wood is managed with great care so as not to overpower the fruit's identity, preparing the wine for a \u003cstrong\u003efinal resting period\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least eight months, essential for harmonising the herbal notes and achieving perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1987 from a vision of the Fèlsina winery, Maestro Raro is a \u003cstrong\u003elimited production\u003c\/strong\u003e wine of exceptional quality.
