GRAPE VARIETY
Cabernet Sauvignon 100%
TASTING NOTES
A beautiful pure Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas and flavors of blackcurrant and blackberry. Full body, soft tannins and a juicy finish. Cocoa and licorice with a finish of red fruit jam. Winter 2018 was harsh with several days of sub-zero temperatures, something that hadn't happened for several years. everything was characterized by frequent rains, which lasted even in the spring period, which restored the natural reserves of the territory, partly in February and the drought of 2017. The budding therefore took place late, but the weather conditions were very good from April to then they preferred growth, also bringing a slightly earlier flowering. The classic summer heat that never fails in Bolgheri manifested itself throughout the month of July and in the first half of August, until some rain lowered the temperature, cooling the plants. The good weather that lasted until September ensured a balanced conclusion of the harvest. The grapes of this Campo alla Giostra 2018 were harvested at full ripeness at the end of September to maximize the fruity potential of the grapes. The grapes, selected in the vineyard, were then taken to the cellar to be vinified. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, with the cap emerging with daily pumping over, then continues with the submerged cap in order to favor the extraction of color and aromas, prolonging the maceration for about ten days. Malolactic fermentation occurs immediately after alcoholic fermentation. Aging is 18 months in French oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year) and 6 months in bottle. This Campo alla Giostra Jeroboam 2018 is sold with its original wooden box, making this bottle perfect as an important gift. Perfect to open on occasions where there are at least 10 people at the table.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME
The name Campo alla Giostra "dei cavalli" is in honor of the 20th general of Varenne, born in 1995, who was raised by Dubois in the stables of the Estate.

Donna Olimpia 1898

Of ancient and noble origins, the Donna Olimpia 1898 estate was baptized in the same year in honor of Olimpia Alliata, Lady of Biserno and wife of Gherardo della Gherardesca on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their wedding. Located in the heart of Bolgheri , in the province of Livorno, spread over 60 hectares, 45 of which are new vineyards planted following a study on clones and rootstocks. The vines planted are obviously those whose vocation has been widely demonstrated: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot; for white wines, on the other hand, Vermentino, Viognier and Petit Manseng. Gifts of a unique territory, Donna Olimpia 1898's wines are characterized by their minerality, harmonic structure and intrinsic elegance. The estate boasts a modern cellar of 5000 square meters, designed to maximize energy savings and minimize environmental impact. It is equipped with the best available production technology, but still the aging in wood takes place in French oak barriques, so traditional. The barrel room is certainly the most important and evocative environment of the entire wine estate.
