Paleo Rosso 1999

Le Macchiole (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Paleo Rosso 1999 – Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC Druer: 85 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Cabernet Franc (producentens tekniske ark). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): A very cold winter was followed by a rather rainy spring with above-average temperatures. This led to an early budbreak and flowering, followed by a rich berry set that brought a grape yield above all expectations. The summer season got off to a rainy start, which encouraged the vegetative balance. The hot temperatures and lack of rain that followed led to an early veraison process, one week ahead of schedule, although the bunches were quite homogeneous. It was necessary to perform green harvesting to lessen the overall fruit load. Ripening was performed in the best possible way because of the very normal weather conditions in September.
