Winemaking and Aging
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in an open, truncated-conical stainless steel tank with a semi-automatic punching-down system. After 24 hours at 20°C, fermentation continues at a controlled temperature of 26°C for a period of 16 days; the grapes are inoculated with selected indigenous yeasts.
Aging
18 months in used barriques and 12 months in bottle.
Tasting Notes
The maximum expression of Sangiovese di San Casciano is represented by this Gran Selezione. Transparent ruby red color, the wine has a deep and complex bouquet on the nose, declined on perceptions reminiscent of wild berries, violets, resin, rosehip, moist soil, and a delicate spicy and smoky touch. The sip is characterized by a very fresh context, by defined tannins, and an authoritative, well-defined persistence. The aromatic extension is entrusted to returns of laurel, rosemary, licorice, and citrus fruits. Already enjoyable for all lovers of the pitch of authentic Sangiovese, the Gran Selezione Zach has the temper to give satisfaction even after years of aging in the bottle.
