Caccia Al Piano Bolgheri Rosso Superiore "Levia Gravia" 2013

The Bolgheri Superiore "Levia Gravia" is a full and deep red wine, with a rich, fruity and spicy soul, with balsamic hints. Named after a collection of poems by Giosué Carducci because it was born in the terroir that gave birth to the great poet. The Caccia al Piano winery is in fact an important and ancient production reality based in Castagneto Carducci, in the heart of the Bolgheri appellation. The Bolgheri Superiore "Levia Gravia" Caccia al Piano comes from a strict selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes grown and harvested by hand in the land owned by the winery. After destemming, the grapes are macerated in stainless steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation follows and then a further maceration in contact with the skins for about two weeks. Finally the wine is left to mature in oak barrels for 20 months and then in the bottle for at least a year. The "Levia Gravia" represents a great interpretation of Bolgheri, an elegant and full-bodied red wine, supported by a soft and silky tannic texture. It is therefore an unmissable expression of that terroir which has grazed the poet Carducci, famous not only for his works, but also for his great meals washed down with delicious wines, such as this one.
