Mediterra
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
2008 was an excellent vintage, characterised by a mild spring and a rainy June which allowed the soil to store sufficient water reserves before a dry and breezy summer. Rainfall in mid-August prevented the grapes from overripening and they maintained a good acid content. The harvest took place in optimal climatic conditions, with hot, dry days and cool, breezy nights, which favoured ideal ripening indexes and maintained grape health, despite light rainfall that occurred towards the end of the harvest.
