This wine comes from Sangiovese grapes selected from Central Tuscany; Dogajolo Rosato is an elegant and structured product with fruity and vivacious floral aromas. These characteristics are the hallmark of a young innovative wine that is also easy to drink.

Vinification: the must obtained from pressing is cooled and left in contact with the skins for a short time. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures using selected yeasts.

Finishing: It is bottled in early January after being racked off the lees following fermentation.

Color: pale pink with elegant bright fuchsia tones.

Bouquet: floral characteristics, particularly rose, myrtle and grape flowers; hints of fruity fragrances like apple, currants and sour cherry.

Flavor: broad and fresh with complex fruity aromas that end with a clean finish.

Alcohol: 12,5% by volume.

Serving temperature: 10-14°C, 50-57°F.

Gastronomy: excellent aperitif and hors d'oeuvre wine. Distinctive accompaniment for mild meats, peppered dishes and cheese, excellent companion to grilled fish.

With the desire to produce a blend that expresses the best that these two grapes has to offer, we chose this Blend of Terriors, where the typical characteristics of each varietal and the influence of each vineyard complement themselves.

Our grapes from Agrelo, Ugarteches,and Vista Flores contribute complexity, subtlety and harmony to the wine.

Viticular Practices: Following harvest the grapes were destemmed and then crushed to tank at which

point the must was warmed and inoculated with selected yeasts and fermented during 10 to 15 days

with temperatures peaking at 32ºC/90ºF.

During fermentation the vats were pumped-over three to four times daily to extract the ideal amount of tannin and color.

Following the completion of fermentation, the must was subjected to an additional 5 days of post fermentation maceration (to give a total of 19 days total skin contact).

The wine was then pressed off skins and put to a mixture of new and used French oak barrels (55% new/45% second the third use) for 10 months during which time it was racked and returned three times.

After bottling the finished wine was carefully aged for three months prior to release to increase complexity.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley cropped at an average of 9 tons per hectare (3.6 tons per acre).

Winemakers Notes:

Dense ruby red in color.

On the nose this wine exhibits lifted notes of rum & raisin and dark chocolate with just a touch of spearmint.

In the mouth fresh acidity gives way to opulent notes of blackcurrant, expresso bean and cedar.

A well-integrated oak backbone combines with svelte, elegant tannins to give a long, textured finish.
