Tasting Notes:
Giramonte 2018 shows asplendid impenetrable and deep ruby red color. Complex on the nose, it offers notes of blueberries, ripe blackberries, plum and black cherry that leave ample room for tertiary hints such as cocoa powder and roasted coffee.
The bouquet is also characterized by asweet spiciness, with hints of nutmeg; on the finish are developed tertiary aromas of toasted hazelnut and coffee which persist for along time.
In the mouth is lively, intense, with a dense and silky tannic texture
 
Vinification:
The vineyard is located at an altitude of 200 meters above sealevel, on clayey soils, with south-west exposure.
Merlot and Sangiovese grapes were selected by hand, between the end of September (Merlot) and the beginning of October (Sangiovese).
Alcoholic fermentation took place spontaneously in stainless steel containers at controlled temperature, with light pumping over especially in the first days.
Malolactic fermentation took place in new French oak barriques, where the wine was aged for the following months.
The further period of aging in bottle gave us a Giramonte with great organoleptic qualities, the result of a wonderful vintage.
 
 
Ageing: 14 months in new oak barrels and 6 months in bottle
