QUARE DI ANGARANO
AVAILABLE YEAR: 2006 and 2007
HISTORY OF THE WINE:
Quare di Angarano is
the fruit of the blending of Cabernet Sauvignon
grape. The plots dedicated to this wine are
located on the farm’s southern slopes at a height
of around 200 m a.s.l. with excellent exposure
and attitude. The soils vaunt Medium texture
with alluvial deposits. Over the years, the farm
has reproduced and transplanted the old biotypes
of its grape species in order to maintain the
characteristics of type and uniqueness.
The tending of the plots is supervised during all
the phenol phases with the application of all the
procedures for a limited, high-quality production.
The grapes are harvested by single plot and variety. Winemaking takes place
separately by grape variety and degree of ripeness in steel containers. Alcoholic
fermentation continues for around 15-18 days depending on the year at a temperature
of around 28-30° C. After maceration is completed, the wine is drained directly into
small oak casks where it stays for around 24 months. The second malolactic
fermentation is performed in small casks in contact with its fine lees in order to grant
the product its unique aroma and bouquet. This aging is followed by the final blending
of the small casks, bottling, and ageing in the bottle for around 9 months prior to
distribution in the market.
