Brugnoli Sesil Orvietano Rosso DOC 2004

ITEM #  BRSE04

Varietal: 50% Sangiovese, 50% Merlot

Viticulture & Vinification Notes: The fruit is hand-harvested from vineyards featuring 10 year old vines plants in soils rich in limestone, sand and limestone. In the winery the stalks are removed from the bunches and the grapes are pressed and cold-soaked. Yeast is added to initiate fermentation and left to soak afterwards. The wine is barrel aged for 24 months and then bottled where it is left to age for another 12 months before being released into the market.    

 

Notes From The winemaker: Bright and clean. Has the deep redness of cherries with reflective colors of garnet. The nose is intense cherry, forest berries, cocoa and smokey tabacco. On the palate the wine has a velvety texture; it is ample and full-bodied with a long finish. Particularly suited for game dishes, cold cuts and strong cheese.
