"Prima Pietra" is the new style in "Supertuscan" Wines.
The vineyard has a composition of: 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The ratios in the blend are the mirror image of the vineyard distribution and may vary slightly depending on the vintage’s harvest.
Each varietal ferments separately for 20 days in stainless steel vats at 28°C. We use native yeast to preserve the aromas in the wine. At the end of the fermentation stage, the wine begins its refinement in French oak casks for 18 months. For the first months each varietal is aged individually, afterwards the Prima Pietra blend is crafted by the winemaker and refinement continues for a further 8 months.
"Prima Pietra" is based in Riparbella, very close to Bokgheri, on Tuscany's coast. It is a project and a wine realized by "Massimo Ferragamo" who, in 2002, locates and buys the land for his project. Work begins immediately in order to plant the vineyard that same year.
The first harvest is celebrated in September 2007 after five years of work. Ruggero Mazzilli is the agronomist, Cecilia Leoneschi is the winemaker and Ugo Fabbri is the Brand Ambassador.
