ABOUT THE WINERY
DONNE FITTIPALDI
In 1992, Maria Fittipaldi bought 46 ha. land without wine, around a country house from the late 1800s. It is located a few km. south of Bolgheri village. The vineyard's good 9 ha. in 80 - 100 m.s height was established in 2004 together with her four daughters. From the start, Donne Fittipaldi has strived to create wines of the highest quality, and they have already garnered great praise from internationally acclaimed reviewers such as James Suckling and Veronelli. The aim is to create wines that are distinguished by their high elegance and harmony, while at the same time reflecting the character of great Bolgheri wines. Donne Fittipaldi has from the beginning wanted to combine wine with art and has worked closely with the artist Giorgio Restelli - who goes by the artist name Giores - to create the labels.
Maria Fittipaldi købte i 1992 46 ha. land uden vin, omkring et landsted fra slutningen af 1800-tallet. Det ligger nogle km. syd for Bolgheri landsbyen. Vingårdens godt 9 ha. i 80 - 100 m.s højde blev etableret i 2004 sammen med hendes fire døtre.
Fra starten har Donne Fittipaldi stræbt efter at skabe vine af højeste kvalitet, og de har allerede høstet stor ros af internationalt anerkendte anmeldere som James Suckling og Veronelli. Målet er at skabe vine, der udmærker sig ved deres høje elegance og harmoni, samtidig med at de afspejler karakteren i store Bolgheri-vine. Donne Fittipaldi har fra begyndelsen ønsket at kombinere vin med kunst og har arbejdet tæt med kunstneren Giorgio Restelli - der går under kunstnernavnet Giores - for at skabe etiketterne.
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is one of the most widely planted red grape varietals in the world. Plantings can be found across Europe, the New World and in China. In many wine regions, it is planted as a component of a Bordeaux-style blend, playing a supportive role to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In parts of north-east Italy and the right bank region of Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc both plays a more prominent role in blends and is made as a single varietal.
Cabernet Franc with its lower tannin levels than Cabernet Sauvignon, can make a bright red wine, with contributing finesse and a peppery aroma to blends with more robust grape varietals. Depending on growing conditions and style of wine, additional aromas can include tobacco, blueberry, raspberry, cassis and sometimes even violets.
Cabernet Sauvignon
The world’s most popular red wine grape is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux, France. Cabernet Sauvignon is loved for its high concentration and age-worthiness.
Merlot
Merlot wine has similarities with Cabernet Sauvignon although less intense and with tannins more soft. Its color is purple red, with aromas of blackberries and black plums, complex and elegant, full-bodied, with low acidity. On the palate is smooth and very balanced.
