Terra del Capo Sangiovese 2009

Name: Terra del Capo Sangiovese 2009
Brand: Terra del Capo
SKU: 29446

Abundant raspberry, black cherry and spice with just a hint of licorice evident. Lovely fresh raspberry and black cherry spice makes an immediate impact on the palate. Vanilla oak and nutmeg spice adds complexity to a lighter-styled palate. Pliable tannins make this a lithe, svelte wine rather than a muscular bruiser. There is delicious blackberry ripeness on the lingering aftertaste.

in the vineyard : Sangiovese can thrive in a variety of soils but its best results are achieved in friable shaly clay. The clayey soils and decomposed ancient sea bed make our Rooderust property ideal for Sangiovese. The area experiences long dry summers but with cool Atlantic Ocean breezes.

about the harvest: Terra Del Capo Sangiovese is produced from fully ripe grapes, picked at 23.9°Balling.

in the cellar : The grapes are gently crushed so that the juice is fermented dry on the skins in large oak fermenters. The grapes are then pressed and malolactic fermentation proceeds in Stainless Steel Tanks. Matured in 500l French oak barrels for 12 months.
