| Winemaking: |
The crushed and partially destemmed grapes are subjected to a very light pressing to
obtain the first-run juice, which is fermented in stainless-steel tanks at a temperature of
18 – 20°C. During the period between alcoholic and malolactic fermentation the lees are
stirred up to once a week. Prior to bottling, the Carisma 2009 was blended with 8 %
Chardonnay vinified in barriques. |
| Alcohol content: |
12.5 % vol. |
| Color: |
Straw-yellow with flashes of pale green. |
| Bouquet: |
Delicate, with tones of fruits like apple and pear, with floral hints that remind linden and citronella. |
| Palate: |
Superb balance between tart freshness and the full, rounded fruit make a wine that is as
decisive as it is flattering; bold elegance right to the last of its persistent and mineral finish. |
Ideal Drink-Temperature:
|
8 – 10°C |
| Ageing
potential: |
The Carisma 2009 will reach its full expressive potential beginning in summer of 2010
