VINIFICATION
The grapes selected for the wine come from a range of vineyards which extends for over 200 acres (80 hectares) and expresses the essential characteristics of the Bolgheri production zone. The wine fermented for 10-15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 82°- 86°Fahrenheit (28° and 30° centigrade ). A part of the Merlot and Syrah must was fermented at lower temperatures to better maintain varietal aromas. The malolactic fermentation took place partly in barrel and partly in stainless steel tanks and was concluded by the end of the year. The wine was then racked and went back into barrel for an additional eight months of aging before bottling. Four months of bottle aging preceded release.
