Green wine growing at Ventisquero

Harvesting the grapes is also meticulously handled. After harvesting, the grapes are rigorously selected and then destemmed.

Manual harvest for the Cabernet Sauvignon

All grapes are harvested by hand and vinified together. A pre-fermentative maceration process is carried out for five days at low temperatures between eight and ten degrees Celsius to achieve greater extraction of color and aroma from the skins. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation is complete, post-fermentation maceration takes place, allowing for greater concentration and structure in the wine. One hundred percent of this wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels containing extra-fine grains, before finally being aged in bottle for another eight months. This isn't just any traditional Cabernet Sauvignon. It's intensely aromatic and spicy. A deep ruby ​​red color characterizes this wine. Hints of black pepper, spices, and red berry emerge on the nose. French oak lends intense aromas of caramel and vanilla. The wine has an elegant structure with ample body and a very long finish.
