Petit Verdot IGT 2019 Thoroughbred - Casal de Luca

Grape Variety: 100% Petit Verdot Vinification: Obtained from Petit Verdot grapes grown at very low yields per hectare, the grapes are simply destemmed at harvest and placed in barrels for fermentation with healthy berries for approximately 15 days at a temperature ranging from 18 to 22°C. The wine is then racked directly into French/American oak barriques, where it continues to age for 10-12 months before being bottled and further refined in the bottle for 10 months. Characteristics: A compact ruby-red bottle with hints of blackberry and balsamic notes; elegant on the palate with a soft, structured finish. Pairings: A classic meditation wine with dark chocolate, but also a perfect accompaniment to braised meats.
