Castello di Ama L' Apparita IGT 1991

l’Apparita
IGT TOSCANA
1991

L’Apparita has enjoyed cult status right from its first vintage, 1985. Lying at the top of the Bellavista vineyard, at an elevation of 490 metres, is the collection of small parcels that make up the L’Apparita vineyard, a total of 3.84 hectares. It was planted to Canaiolo and Malvasia Bianca in 1975, but grafted over to clone 342 of Merlot between 1982 and 1985. Its open lyre training system and clay-rich soil make this small cru a true jewel in the international wine world.

Growing season weather conditions
A quite rainy winter was followed by an early spring with above-average temperatures, bringing the risk of a too-early start to vine growth; temperatures then dropped, however, bringing conditions back to normal. Rainfall was very scarce on May and June, and no health problems in the vineyards appeared. Temperatures from the second half of June shot up to record levels, over 30cC, but the remainder of the summer experienced very satisfactory levels, and ripeness levels brought an early harvest for all varieties.

Vinificazione e affinamento
Le uve selezionate per q.li 165 sono state raccolte l’11 Settembre. Pigiatura e diraspatura totale hanno preceduto il passaggio nella vasca termocondizionata. La fermentazione si è sviluppata in maniera regolare ad una temperatura compresa tra i 31° ed i 32° durante la quale si sono effettuati numerosi rimontaggi. La macerazione si è protratta fino alla soglia dei 30 giorni. Dopo la svinatura di Hl. 110 si è proceduto ad effettuare la fermentazione malolattica totale per buona parte in vasche di acciaio. A malolattica ultimata, tutto il vino è passato in barriques nuove per l’80% di rovere di Allier per circa 12 mesi.
L’imbottigliamento è stato effettuato a giugno 1992 ottenendo 13.250 bordolesi e 400 magnum.

Tasting Notes
A remarkably intense, ultra-concentrated ruby red. Very forceful, elegant nose releasing pungent spice, tobacco leaf, and vanilla, over a delicate background of wild red berry. The palate boasts superb concentration and length.
