Solaia 2013 - Antinori

The 2013 harvest was characterized more than any other, by the careful and punctual management of the vineyard, first with important defoliation and then with careful selection of the grapes from the countryside, at the time of harvest, up to reception in the cellar. These operations have allowed the vinification of musts extremely rich in color, fragrant and with intense expressions of the fruit, all factors that portend a vintage of absolute quality. Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes are delicately de-stemmed and the berries, before being pressed, are carefully selected at the sorting table; here the attention to detail is at the highest levels, it is essential that only the perfect grapes enter the conical winemaking tanks of 60 hl. During fermentation and maceration the musts are slowly transformed into wine; in this phase extreme care is required to maintain freshness and aromas, without neglecting the extraction of color and tannin management aimed at sweetness and elegance. Once the skins and the wine have been separated, the malolactic fermentation begins which, in barriques, enhances the finesse and pleasantness of the wine.
