Barrelaia Prima Collezione IGT Toscana Rosso 2020
The creation of wine involves a skilful combination of factors: the territory, the quality of grapes, the winemaking techniques, and the vision for the final product. Time plays a crucial role in defining the wine’s character, as it matures and develops within the wooden embrace of the barrel. Each passing month leaves its mark, shaping the wine’s profile in the serene silence of the cellar. The name “Barrelaia” itself pays tribute to one of the most esteemed figures in the world of winemaking: the barrel.

Winemaking: In the winemaking process, our primary focus is on elevating the wine’s balance, elegance, texture, and the lasting presence of its flavor. “Barrelaia” is a meticulous blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet grapes.

At the end of the year, when the malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is blended according to the right proportions which may differ according to the vintage.
