Here, the soil has a strong presence of calcareous areas rich in galestro, along with stones and partially clayey rocks: elements that promote a mineral and rigorous reading of the sip. The winemaking process includes manual harvesting, grape selection, fermentation with spontaneous yeasts, and long maceration on the skins, resulting in a deeper and more complex outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003epurple-red\u003c\/strong\u003e color with violet reflections, vivid and enveloping. The bouquet is elegant and broad, with well-integrated varietal notes and an ethereal aromatic character, of noble harmony. On the palate, the wine shows balance between the fruity component and the tannic mineral freshness, with an intact and complex flavor structure. The body is significant but not rigid, supported by a persistent finish that is consistent with the style of great Bolgheri reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFratini 2018 Bolgheri Superiore DOC Magnum\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs naturally with flavorful and structured dishes.
