Description
The vineyards from which San Lorenzo is produced are located on two estates in the Osimo and Ancona areas on Italy`s central Adriatic coast. The harvest is carried out by hand and normally takes place in the period from the end of September to the end of the first ten days of October.VINIFICATION
The grapes are destalked and lightly pressed, then undergo maceration for 10- 12 days in steel fermentation vats. As soon as the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wine starts the malolactic fermentation. The wine then moves on to the ageing process.
AGEING
About 50% is aged in 5000-8000 litre oak lasks, and the rest in barriques on their third or fourth time of use, for a period of about 12 months. After assemblage, San Lorenzo rests in bottle for a further 6 months.
TASTE
Brilliant ruby red in colour with garnet tints. The nose has a pleasent sweetness to it, predominantly fruity, with typical notes of morello cherry. On the palate the wine has a rich full mouth feel with silky tannins and cherry fruit flavours, with a touch of spice leading to a long and intensely fruit driven finish.
