Granadié
Langhe DOC Rosato
2019
100% Nebbiolo
Climate
The winter of 2019, with the exception of an occasional snowfall and rare rains, was characterized by above normal seasonal averages, favoring an early start to vegetative activity above all in the vineyards with the finest exposures. The weather, generally cool and distinguished by rainfall from April up until the end of May, influenced flowering, reducing the number of berries per bunch and therefore lowing production levels. The month of June, characterized by a generally warm and dry period, preceded new rains in mid-July. The positive temperature swings between daytime warmth and evening and nighttime coolness in August and the continuous crop thinning in the vineyard assisted in safeguarding of the integrity of the fruit. The month of September, which began with a brief but intense period of precipitation, proceeded with rising temperatures and a serene climate up until mid-October. It was certainly a vintage with certain difficulties, with a harvest which was long and limited production, but one which stood out for the excellent quality of the fruit. The picking of the Muscat grapes took place on the 5th of October.
Harvest and Vinification
Nebbiolo was hand harvested into baskets and brought to the cellar where the grapes were destemmed, crushed and left to macerate on the skins for approximately 12 hours at room temperature. The crushed grapes were then gently pressed and alcoholic fermentation began at a temperature of 18 °C (64° F). Granadiè was left to age in stainless steel tanks at a controlled low temperature for several months then bottled and released for sale.
