Vinification of Azienda Il Grillesino Ceccante Toscana

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Cabernet Sauvignon. Only flawless grapes were used for this exceptionally powerful single-varietal wine from Azienda Il Grillesino. The Ceccante Toscana is an Old World wine through and through, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled. The ageing in the barrel is followed by a long maturation in the bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
