ARMONIA
This wine is obtained from a scrupulous and particular selection
of the Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello) grapes which are products
of the select 40 year old vines on the Losi-Querciavalle Estate.
The cycle of vinification of these grapes gets stopped to prolong
the period of contact with the skins and must. Then, after separating
the wine from the lees (dregs) the period of initiating maturation
begins, first in French Barrique and then in small Slavonic Oak
barrels. After the wood maturation, the wine is then bottled and
left for a brief period to rest in the bottle for further refinement.
The actual periods of maturation in both the barrique and the
bottles is difficult to say because it varies with each production,
since the characteristics of the grapes are so diverse.
The color is an intense ruby red with granite reflections. The
aroma is intense with a hint of vanilla and spice, a full, smooth
flavor and elegant structure. The flavor of this wine is so aristocratic
it is an indispensible accompaniment to any lunch or important
dinner. To appreciate all of the superb qualities of Armonia,
we recommend decanting for two hours and serving at room temperature.
