THREE DREAMERS FANTINI

This red wine from Fantini Winery comes from the company vineyards of Cantalupo, Notaresco near Teramo. It is a wine ready to drink immediately but which boasts an excellent aging capacity, even over 20 years. The bunches are harvested in September in the third decade: they are harvested meticulously and wilting takes place in the fruit orchard at a controlled temperature. During the 120 days of wilting, the grapes gradually dehydrate, thus developing the fruity aromas characteristic of the wilting procedure; once this phase is completed, they proceed with soft pressing and fermentative maceration in steel for 6 months at a temperature of 25/30°. The final stage, or aging, takes place in American oak barriques for 18 months.
