2022 Bòggina A

DOC Val d'Arno di Sopra Sangiovese Vigna Bòggina Biologico
100% Sangiovese
Red wine

In terracotta amphorae of 300 and 500 liters. Almost no sulfites added. Natural fermentation in amphorae with native yeast. Manual “cap” plunging. As fermentation ends, the amphorae are sealed with the skins for about an 8-month long maceration.
After the skins removal, the wine continues its aging in amphorae for about 5 months. Amphorae allow a similar microxygenation as barriques, avoiding reduction excesses and prevent barrique flavoring. During maturation sulphites are not added because the wine is naturally protected by the extended contact with the skins.
