Castello di Izola 2019 Sangiovese Rubicone IGT, Italy

Description

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking With hopes of capitalizing on an outstanding growing season, we fermented the wine in large concrete tanks to accentuate Sangiovese’s varietal purity and fruit-forward character. Throughout the winemaking process, temperatures and skin contact are carefully monitored to ensure flavors and textures remain in balance before a subtle touch of oak adds depth to a well-rounded wine. Under the cork lives an impeccable year for Rubicone wine, waiting to be enjoyed.

Vintage It is well known in the vineyards of Northern Italy that 2019 offered a near-perfect growing season. Our vines bloomed with new life as a warm spring turned the hills from winter’s dormant brown to vibrant green. Our Sangiovese grapes enjoyed a long, temperate summer under clear skies, cooled by breezes from the Adriatic Sea. Come mid-September, we handharvested in the cool night hours, scrupulously selecting only the best clusters for our wine.
