DESCRIPTION
Exclusively Syrah grapes to celebrate the Cortonese territory through an enveloping and delicate wine. Its name is inspired by the God Achelo, depicted in one of the most important Etruscan works kept in the Museum of the Etruscan Academy of Cortona
LA BRACCESCA ESTATE, MONTEPULCIANO (SI).
After destemming-crushing, the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where a cold pre-fermentation maceration took place in order to enhance the fruity notes. Fermentation, which took place at temperatures no higher than 25 ° C, took about 10 days.
70% of the wine was then transferred to second and third passage French oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation took place, and the remainder to steel. Achelo was finally bottled in early autumn 2019.
Achelo 2018 has an intense purplish red color. On the nose, enveloping notes of red and black fruit combine with spicy hints of vanilla and the characteristic hints of black pepper. On the palate it is sweet, pleasant, with a pleasant persistence capable of enhancing the aftertaste characterized by aromas of black fruit, such as black currant and blackberry jam, and a light hint of vanilla.
