TITOLO 2018 + ANFORA 2017 with wooden box

TITOLO by AMPHORA - VINIFICATION

Selection of the grapes, destemming and with almost whole berries ferments in an untreated terracotta amphora from the Impurenta (Florence) at controlled temperature with maceration on the skins for the whole time of alcoholic fermentation (12-13 days) with continuous delestanges and replacements. Separation of the must from the skins, soft 1-atmosphere pressing, and subsequent malolactic fermentation always in terracotta.

TITOLO by AMPHORA - TASTING NOTES

Ruby intense with garnet reflections, perfume and large complex with picy sharp hints of peppers and jam fruit currant and tobacco.

Big aromatic presistence with large structure and strong personality 'sin by youth' thanks to minerality and sapidity even more pronounced.

TITOLO - VINIFICATION

The grapes, collected in small baskets are taken directly to the cellar for selection and removal from the vine. The whole grapes are then put into steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation (maceration lasts the same amount of time as fermentation). Afterward the 'must' is 'drawn off' and the dregs are soft pressed. Malolactic fermentation occurs in barriques of 200 l. (50% new) for a total of 12 months. 

Additional aging takes place in bottles for 12 more months before release.

TITOLO - TASTING NOTES

Intense ruby color with strong garnet reflections. Ample and complex perfume, decidedly mineral, fruity and ethereally youthful with clear spicy hints. Aroma provokes strong sensation of cherry, currant, rosemary, tobacco and cinnamon.

Has a dry, warm flavor, broad structure and persistent, aromatic and long finish. Wine of strong personality, representative of its territory and destined to have a great future.
