Le Colonne presents this sensational “Bolgheri Superiore” that praises the denomination DOC. It is a blend composed by 80% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. The lands have a south-west, north west exposition. The vineyards are cultivated on volcanic soils characterized by clay and loam. The plants are trained with cordon sur pruning. 7500 plants per hectare, that are around 15-16 years old, give 80 quintals grapes. The fermentation is started spontaneously by local lees in concrete containers and lasts for 13 days. The temperature is always controlled and reaches max 28°C. During this phase some mixing operations allow a good extraction of the colour. The aging is managed in big barrels for 12 months while the final maturation is developed in the bottle for 3 months.
