2020 Frescobaldi Terremore Cabernet
| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nTerre More 2020 has a beautifully intense and radiant ruby-red color. The nose reveals intense fruity notes of berries andbcherry, as well as light hints of plum. After these, Mediterranean hints and delicate tertiary notes of vanilla and lightly toasted coffee emerge. The tannins are velvety-smooth. It is delightfully fresh and soft when tasted. The finish is long and\r\npersistent.\r\nVinification and ageing\r\nThe grapes were carefully harvested and delivered to the cellar. Afterwards, they were de-stemmed and mashed in steel tanks. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature. The wine was then aged in second- and third-passage French oak barriques. The subsequent bottle-ageing period enabled the wine to develop balance and fulfil every ounce of its\r\npotential.\r\nClimatic trend\r\nThe growing season was marked by abundant rainfall in autumn, followed by a mild winter and above-average temperatures in spring, resulting in surprisingly stable growth throughout our vineyards. While the summer weather was hot and dry, sea breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian coast mitigated the effect of the daytime temperatures, enabling the grapes to ripen well. The harvest, which began during the last week of August, yielded perfect grapes rich in fresh, fruity\r\naromas. The brief periods of rainfall in September enabled the later varieties to mature well, resulting in grapes with excellent phenolic ripeness and exquisite aromas.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the Frescobaldi Family\r\nFor 700 years the\u00a0Frescobaldi\u00a0family has combined tradition, experience and innovation with creativity and the pursuit of excellence.\r\nThe family has always looked to develop and celebrate the diversity of Tuscany\u2019s terroir.\r\nBeing proud owners of some of the\u00a0greatest vineyards\u00a0in this region they have always sought to maintain the identity and autonomy of each property.\r\nLuce\u00a0della\u00a0Vite\u00a0was created by the Frescobaldi and Mondavi families and has flourished under the Frescobaldi ownership.\r\nLuce\u00a0della\u00a0Vite\u00a0is just one of the\u00a0estates\u00a0owned by the family alongside Ornellaia, Masseto, Danzante, Attems (Friuli) and the six Frescobaldi Estates, Nipozzano, CastelGiocondo, Pomino, Ammiraglia, Castiglioni and Remole. |
