I Greppi Greppicante offers a distinguished expression of an Italian Bordeaux-style blend, masterfully uniting elegance with captivating complexity. Typically featuring a higher proportion of Merlot alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, this wine showcases a beautifully soft and approachable dimension, complementing its inherent structure.
This brilliant red wine entices with a velvety, smooth bouquet hinting at forest fruits. The palate unfolds a symphony of flavors: succulent currants and luscious blackberries intertwine with subtle notes of rosemary and delicate floral undertones. These layers deepen into an opulent, full-bodied experience where rich, savory flavors of meat and fine leather mingle seamlessly. Despite its richness, Greppicante maintains a refined demeanor, supported by velvety tannins and a journey of flavor that lingers impressively on the palate.
Crafted with meticulous care, the vinification involves fermentation and skin maceration in stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. The wine then ages for 12 months in seasoned (2 to 3-year-old) French oak, allowing gentle integration, and matures for an additional six months in bottle before release. Designed for immediate enjoyment yet possessing underlying depth, Greppicante is both effortlessly enjoyable and deeply rewarding.
