The climate in 2018 was really favorable for our grapes. After a not–too–cold winter, a regular spring followed. The summer, on the other hand, was characterised by significant temperature variations between day and night.

These variations made the veraison of the fruits take longer than expected, but the gradual ripening favored the accumulation of important phenolic substances, essential to create the perfect balance between the complex aromatic notes of our wine. An extraordinary September and a cooler October followed.

The fruits harvested were beautiful, healthy and perfectly ripe.

It is a wine with an intense ruby red color and with garnet reflections. The carefully managed aging gives it an intense, unique and unmistakable bouquet. The scent is pleasant, with hints of vanilla, tobacco, blackberry and ripe red berries. Well-rounded, smooth satin-texture and harmoniously balanced.

It has an alcohol content of 14.5 degrees.

Molvina Wine and the its Four S’s, according to the wine tasting expert:

Seeing: Intensely Rich Red, Clear, Purple tones

Swirling: Dense, Rich, Elegant Texture

Smelling: Oaky, Tannic, Rich, Red Fruits.

Sipping: Ample, Well-Rounded, Supple, Oaky, Plum, Black currant, Cocoa, Fruity, Tannic, Smooth, Tobacco, Vanilla, Well-balanced, Refined.

It should be served at a temperature between 18 and 20 degrees, better by using a large tulip glass for the exaltation of perfumes. Important to open the bottle at least two hours before consumption.

Particularly suitable to accompany roasts, game, and all kinds of red meat or ‘salami’. Excellent paired with aged cheeses.

Village of Molvina, Brescia, Lombardy region, Northern Italy.
It is produced in a hilly area in the Lombard Prealps, particularly protected from cold northern winds where a favorable microclimate develops. The grapes grow at heights between 400 and 600 meters above sea level in a vineyard with yield per hectare of about 70/80 quintals of grapes.

LANDS
The soils are composed of “Marna”, well drained and without stagnant humidity. The favorable location of the vineyard gives our grapes maximum sun exposure, from dawn to dusk, thus obtaining wine of unique particular characteristics.

VINIFICATION AND AGEING

The late harvest of the grapes usually takes place after the second half of October. Bunches are picked, selected by hand and placed in boxes of 5 kg each. The grapes then rest for about a month to obtain the right drying. The crushing process follows and the musts are then placed for three weeks in vertical temperature controlled steel fermenters. After the fermentation process, the wine is separated from the solid part and left to rest for a year in the cellar in underground tanks, thus avoiding even the slightest changes in temperature. The next phase involves the selection of the best crus to obtain a wine with high and homogeneous quality. This is then when aging begins in Slavonian oak barrels, where the wine rests for a period ranging from 40 to 50 months.
The bottling will then be carried out under nitrogen pressure and bottles are sealed in a vacuum. Finally, a further refinement in bottle follows for 4/6 months before releasing the wine for consumption.

The Lombardian Prealps, and the perfect positioning of the Molvina vineyards, protected the vine shoots from the late spring frosts perfectly.

The ripening of the grapes during summer continued uninterrupted thanks to very hot sunny daysand despite the infrequent rainy nights.

In the time leading up to the harvest the maximum temperatures were higher than average and the drastic changes in temperature between day and night allowed us to obtain perfectly healthy grapes of excellent high quality. 

This is a rich red wine with ruby reflections. The flavour is broad and slightly smoked. The aging process gives this wine an unmistakable aroma, the scent is persistent, with a long aftertaste of vanilla, blackberry, plums, cherry and red berry fruits. Satin-smooth on the palate, well-rounded, great texture and perfectly balanced, with a succulent fruitiness. It has an alcohol content of 15.0 degrees.
