THE WINE
Mosaico comes from Merlot grapes grown in three different areas of Bolgheri: Via Bolgherese, Ferruggini and Sondraie.
Different soils, distinct characteristics and one shared goal: to create a wine that expresses the identity of Merlot through the elegance and richness of our territory.
Just like the individual pieces of a mosaic, each vineyard contributes to shaping the wine's character, creating a harmonious and recognisable expression.
Spontaneous fermentation and ageing in French oak complete the winemaking journey, enhancing the fruit and encouraging the development of soft, silky tannins.
Mosaico is a Bolgheri Rosso that brings together structure, elegance and drinking pleasure, equally suited to an important dinner or simply sharing a good bottle.

WINEMAKING AND AGEING
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26–28°C for approximately 15 days.
The process is carried out spontaneously by indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes, while malolactic fermentation takes place during ageing.
Ageing
The wine matures for at least 12 months in second- and third-use French oak barriques.
This is followed by a further 6 months of bottle ageing, allowing the wine to develop greater harmony and balance.

The Finish
Juicy and persistent, with velvety tannins that accompany the wine through to the final sip.
FOOD PAIRINGS
