BARRICATO - I.G.T.

This wine is made from the most select of the Cabernet, Merlot, and Sangiovese grapes, grown meticulously and under very strict conditions on a special plot of land in the vineyard. 

Grapes are harvested when they are very ripe, as to obtain the highest alcohol levels possible, along with high levels of polyphenols.

The vinification process is quite lengthy and the grapes are treated in a very delicate manner throughout the entire process. Steps in which the wine is pressed and drawn are especially important in completing the wine with such distinct characteristics.

As soon as it is drawn, the Cabernet is placed in barrels where fermentation is completed. It is bottled unfiltered to preserve its original characteristics.

Barricato Damiani is solid yet carries a fine and delicate aroma with distinct hints of Cabernet, making it unmistakable.

CHIANTI RISERVA - D.O.C.G.

Made from select Sangiovese grapes (85%) and Merlot grapes (15%). Rigorously harvested by hand in September/October and placed in cases to preserve the wholeness of each grape bunch.

Grapes are picked when their fragrance, sweetness and their skins’ polyphenol levels are just right.

The vinification is carried out in wooden barrels and lasts between 7-12 days. Special care is taken in soaking the skins, as it is a very delicate process.

The wine is drawn by hand with the help of a soft vertical press; careful attention is given to the product obtained during this step. The next step is fermentation which transforms the Chianti into a harmonious and complete wine.  The refinement period in wooden barrels is quite lengthy, as to create the perfect harmony between the wine and wood.

The color is ruby-red, lively and brilliant. Aroma is intense, fresh, lively and persistent, reminiscent of the grape still on the vine. The taste is soft and balanced, with an enjoyable aftertaste that recalls all the aromas of fermentation.
