"Insignia" De Sangre

TASTING NOTES: Luigi Bosca De Sangre is a garnet red wine with violet hues that gets its great complexity and structure from the limestone soil. This strong and robust blend, with great intensity shows exuberant aromas of black fruits and spices. It is full-bodied and fleshy in the mouth, large volume, sweet tannins and velvety texture. A long finish and nice to the palate. TECHNICAL NOTES: The three varieties are vinified separately in exactly the same way. The grapes are hand-picked in boxes from 18 to 20 kilograms, clusters are selected, then they are destemmed and after that the best grains are chosen. The must is macerated in cold for 5 to 7 days at a temperature from 10°C to 15°C. Then it is fermented with selected yeast in stainless-steel tanks with a capacity of 15,000 liters, with extraction works such as delestage and pressings. Once fermentation is finished, 50% of the three varieties is aged in oak barrels where their malolactic fermentation occurs and it is matured between 12 and 14 months. After completing the ageing process, the final blend is done, after that they are stabilized, filtered and bottled. It is stored in the winery for at least a year before putting them in the market.
