Cuvée Cristian 2022
Cuvée Cristian 2022 is a selected red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes are hand-harvested, vinified separately, and matured in barriques for at least 24 months, allowing the tannic structure, black fruit, and spice notes to settle into a broad, coherent profile. Aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, sweet spices, toasted oak, and a hint of dark chocolate shape a serious red for generous meals and cellaring.
The grapes for this blend are hand-harvested from meticulously selected parcels, chosen for what becomes the winery’s most compelling red-wine lot. The two parcels supplying the fruit are closely monitored so the grapes reach both phenolic ripeness and technological maturity.
After destemming, the grapes are transferred to the vinifier for a cold pre-fermentative maceration, ensuring optimal extraction without compromising the integrity of the skins’ structure. Once inoculated, the must undergoes two délestage operations, alongside pump-overs and punch-downs carried out throughout alcoholic fermentation. The depletion of fermentable sugars signals the moment we guide the must to the press, obtaining the wine that we then keep for a further two weeks at temperatures >20 °C, to complete its secondary fermentation.
After conditioning, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot lots are racked into barriques, where they will mature for at least 24 months.
