Bossi Fedrigotti Fojaneghe

After destalking the grapes the maceration is processed at 18 - 24° with a peak of 26°C. Racking after about 25 days at the end of fermentation, followed by decantation into stainless steel tanks. The malolactic follows at 18 - 20°C temperature, followed by running the wine off into small barrels. The wine is then matured for 18 months in French oak barriques, then with a minimum of 12 months in the bottle.

The vineyards lie in the historic Fojaneghe estate situated in the communes of Mori and Isera (Trentino) at a height of 300 metres above-sea-level. The ground is typically basalt / limestone. Breezes from Lake Garda bring good temperature variations from night to day and excellent general ventilation. The wine has been produced since 1961 and the first Bordeaux blend to be made in Italy, thanks to Count Federico’s happy intuition. The grapes – Merlot, Cabernet and a small percentage of Teroldego – come from the eponymous vineyard and the wine itself is the emblem of the family’s nobility all over the world.

Elegantly structured on the palate, velvety with a long finish, this is the top wine from the Conti Bossi Fedrigotti cellars in Trentino. Firm, well balanced and attractive on the palate. Tannins are forward, but always smooth and well integrated. Long and elegant fruits of forest and a vanilla on the finish.

This wine goes well with red meat, game, and mature cheeses that have a bite to its flavour profile.
