Mediterra

Toscana I.G.T.

Syrah 40%, Merlot 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%

 

As its name suggests, this red wine is characterised by aromas of the Mediterranean scrub and the enticing scent of sea salt. Mediterra is a wine with great personality that expresses the intensity of the whole, intact fruit, kissed by sun and sea.

Climate Trend

 

2007 was a great year. An exceptionally mild winter was followed by a very long summer. The budding took place earlier than the seasonal average and the summer months were rather cool and dry with a wide temperature range between day and night. There was light rainfall towards the end of September and the grapes ripened uniformly thanks to a green harvest aimed at eliminating excess bunches. The subsequent defoliation before the harvest further contributed to achieving perfect maturation.
