Guidalberto Toscana 2011

Tenuta San Guido (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Guidalberto 2011 – klassifikation: IGT - Toscana; druer: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot (producenten angiver ingen procenter). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): The weather in 2011 was very good. It can be considered one of the best vintages since 2000. The winter was harsh, with temperatures below the seasonal average, especially in November and January. Spring started early with mild temperatures and excellent water supply with gradual rainfall without wind. This favoured an excellent vegetative development of the plants to the benefit of the production. The summer was hot and long, but with temperatures in the seasonal averages, except for July, when the heat was more noticeable, but with a good temperature variation between night and day that prevented water stress on the plants and over-ripening of the grapes. Høst (producentens tekst, engelsk): The ripening of the grapes was regular, allowing the harvest to begin in early September and be completed around mid-October. The grapes arrived at maturity healthy, with plump, crisp berries. Vinifikation (producentens tekst, engelsk): Fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature of 30° - 31° C, with maceration lasting 15 days for both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Lagring (producentens tekst, engelsk): Once malolactic fermentation was complete, the wine was placed in French oak barriques, and a small part in American oak, where it was aged for a period between the 20 and 25 months. The duration of the ageing is technically decided on the basis of the seasonal trend of the vintage.
