2017 Fratini, Hortense - Bolgheri Superiore - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

HORTENSE doc bolgheri superiore rosso 80% Cabernet Franc - 20% Cabernet Sauvignon WINEMAKER Eric Boissenot VINEYARD TRAINING METHOD Guyot. SOIL COMPOSITION Sedimentary rocks consisting of limestone, marble, and clay with interlayers of sandstone and siliceous rocks. VINIFICATION AND AGEING After being hand-picked, the grapes, previously selected in the vineyard, undergo further selection in the cellar. The grapes ferment in temperature-controlled, truncated-cone stainless steel vats. Fermentation occurs with spontaneous yeasts. Aging in second- and third-passage barriques for 12 months completes the wine's maturation. It pairs well with robust, flavorful dishes, such as marinated game and roast wild boar, braised guinea fowl, or duck. Excellent with roast veal or pork seasoned with a blend of Mediterranean herbs, including bay leaves, juniper berries, rosemary, and sage, which enhance its complex aromatic notes. Its complexity is also enhanced with mature, rich cheeses such as aged pecorino.
