CASTELLO DI AMA L'APPARITA 2000

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
The first part of the year saw relatively little rain, and the season proceeded favourably with no excessive vigour. Summer though saw an unusual lack of rain, but rain storms in the last ten days of August allowed the early-ripeners to ripen perfectly, with superb clusters that were sound and healthy.
The weather disturbances that hit all of Europe in September and October complicated harvest of the traditional varieties; extremely careful attention had to be paid to quality-selection of the clusters and to timely intervention.

Vinificazione e affinamento
Le uve selezionate per q.li 170 sono state raccolte il 22 Settembre. Tali uve sono state accuratamente pigiate e diraspate. La fermentazione si è sviluppata in maniera regolare con lieviti indigeni ad una temperatura compresa tra i 30° ed i 33°. I rimontaggi si sono succeduti numerosi per tutto il periodo fermentativo e la macerazione si è protratta fino alla soglia dei 26 giorni. Dopo la svinatura di Hl. 112 si è proceduto ad effettuare la fermentazione malolattica parzialmente in barriques. A gennaio 1994 il vino è passato completamente in barriques di rovere di Allier, di cui 75% nuove, per circa 12 mesi. L’imbottigliamento è stato effettuato ad Aprile 1995 ottenendo 12.800 bordolesi e 750 magnum.

Tasting Notes
A purple-flecked ruby. A nose of great finesse, displaying elegant blackcurrant and pipe tobacco. Deeply intense in the mouth, profound depth, with silky tannins. Near-endless finish.
