Sangiovese "Ceneo" 2021 Begnardi

Ceneo is an authentic expression of care and attention at every stage of the production process. The grapes, grown on medium-textured hilly soils with skeletal presence, are carefully selected at the beginning of are carefully selected at the beginning of September, when all bunches with imperfections or defects are removed, leaving only the best to ripen until the second half of September, when they are harvested. Production is always limited to 1 - 1.5 kg of grapes per plant. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a constant temperature of 28/30°C for about 6/8 days, with periodic repassing and délestage. At the end of fermentation, maceration on the skins continues for 10/14 days. The wine then continues its evolution in stainless steel barrels for 10 months, refining its distinctive character. The final result is a ruby red wine with light pigmentation, typical of Sangiovese. The characteristic bouquet of red fruits such as plums, cherries and raspberries blends harmoniously with floral notes of violets and a surprising minerality due to the skeletal soil. On the palate, the entry is full-bodied, supported by a good alcohol content that is not obtrusive, but rather keeps the wine fresh, acidic and with excellent flavour. The tannins are velvety and accompany a long finish.
