Climate

Mild winter weather and limited rainfall marked the beginning of the 2022 growing season. The buds began to emerge at the beginning of April, a few days later than 2021 due to cooler temperatures. The month of May brought beautiful sunny skies and higher than average temperatures that accelerated vine growth and triggered early flowering which took place during the final half of the month. Overall, hot and dry conditions persisted throughout the summer season with intermittent rain showers during the last half of August that allowed the grapes to progress and begin an optimal ripening phase.

Timing of the grape harvest was similar to 2021; it began the second week of September with Merlot, continued with Syrah and was completed by the end of September with Sangiovese.

Fermentation and Aging

The grapes were picked in progressive stages and fermented separately based on the individual grape variety. This process made it possible to implement specific fermentation and maceration techniques to each variety to enhance aromatic compounds and achieve supple tannins. Fermentation temperatures never exceeded 25° C (77° F) and pump-overs were performed to guarantee a gentle extraction of delicate, supple tannins. After malolactic fermentation was completed by the end of November, the wine was left to age until late spring. Fattoria Le Maestrelle was bottled starting at the end of May 2023.

Tasting Notes

Fattoria Le Maestrelle is ruby red in color with purplish hues. Its intense and complex nose offers notes of ripe red fruit well integrated with notes of juniper berries, mint, vanilla and coffee. On the palate it is well-balanced, supple, savory with a complex finish that brings back aromas perceived on the nose.
