2022 Sangiovese semi-carbonic
Harvest: 10/1
Brix: 21.4
TA: 6.9
pH: 3.4
Primary: Whole clusters were placed by hand into stainless steel tank. CO2 was dispensed into the top of the tank then sealed commencing carbonic maceration. 16 days later, the tank was opened and the sugar of the grapes was tested at 6 brix. The grapes were then destemmed, foot treaded, and RC212 yeast was pitched and fermented to dry.
Secondary: In barrel inoculation with Omega yeast
Vinification: Potassium metabisulfite (preservative)
Filtered: Yes
Aging: 8 months neutral French Oak and 1 month stainless steel tank
