Campaner Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2021

Vintage

In many respects 2021 was a demanding and challenging wine growing year. The winter months were mainly sunny but very cold. In spring the temperature was slow to rise, and that delayed the vegetative development of the vines. This was only partly compensated by the warm and sunny start to the summer, while the weather in July and August was very varied. The grape harvest accordingly began relatively late, on September 9. The wet September was an organizational problem for our wine growers, but ultimately a very good harvest was completed on October 26.

Tasting notes

– dark, ruby red
– ripe blackberries, wild cherries and chocolate on the nose
– a powerful beginning on the palate, with increasing tannins, prominent fruit and a long, lingering finish

Recommendation

This wine pairs perfectly with red meats, game and piquant cheeses.

Vinification

Fermentation on the skins at 28 °C, two week extended maceration, malolactic and 16 month aging in barrique (1/4 new oak), a light filtration before bottling.

Vineyard

Steep, southerly exposed slopes at 250 – 350 meters above sea level. Loamy, chalky, stoney gravel, heat-retaining and well-drained
