Bolgheri Rosso Orio 2022

Bolgheri Rosso Orio by Podere il Castellaccio comes from vineyards located in the first hilly area in the south-eastern sector of the appellation, between via Bolgherese and the Segalari hill. An excellent position, slightly raised to about 140 m above sea level. Here there are the highest diurnal temperature variations during summer days, which allow the grapes to accumulate aromatic compounds and retain acidity in the pulp. The soil is made up of sand and clay with abundant stones. The 15/20-year-old vines have a high planting density (5000 plants per hectare), favoring the growth of concentrated grapes. The blend of Bolgheri Rosso Orio without Cabernet Sauvignon corresponds to a stylistic choice in the direction of soft, supple and elegant wines.

The grapes harvested in September ferment in steel vats at a controlled temperature with a total maceration of 20 days. The wine ages for one year in old French oak barriques.
