It is made from a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc grapes. In the glass, it displays an intense and deep colour, revealing a bouquet of ripe wild berries, plum and blackcurrant. On the palate, it is rounded and full, supported by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that are perfectly integrated. The sip reveals nuances of coffee, morello cherry and light spicy notes, finishing with a mineral progression and a long, clean persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines grow in Bolgheri, in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci, in an area where the \u003cstrong\u003emaritime influence\u003c\/strong\u003e plays a fundamental role. The protection of the hills and the constant sea breezes create a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-ventilated climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for ensuring a slow and even ripening of the grapes. The soils, extremely varied, are composed of alluvial pebbles, marine sands, limestone, clay and volcanic rocks. This complex geological matrix enriches the wine's profile, giving it solidity and an excellent \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e that reflects the essence of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e followed by a careful selection of the bunches. The different varieties ferment separately in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with a \u003cstrong\u003elong maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins to extract colour and structure. Malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, initiating the aromatic evolution. Ageing continues for eighteen months, always in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, before the final blending and a further period of rest in glass.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1999, the Podere Sapaio estate enhances the \u003cstrong\u003eBordeaux grape varieties in Bolgheri\u003c\/strong\u003e through a bold vision.
