Aia Vecchia - Cabernet Franc "Orleto" 2018 Ml. 750
Winery Aia Vecchia
Characteristic
Aia Vecchia is the name of an old building (today is the corporate centre) situated in the Tuscan Country between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci and next the Tyrrhenian coast. This is an area where the particularly favorable microclimate and ideally suited soils make possible the production of very high quality wines. The particular position gives the vines very much light, both direct sunlight as sunlight reflected by the sea. This in general allows an early harvest.The property consists of 69 hectares of open ground: 48 of which are planted with vines and 30 of these are in the Bolgheri DOC zone. Here we cultivate Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit-Verdot and Sangiovese grapes, addressed to the production of two of our wines: Lagone and SorUgo. In the cellar situated in Castagneto Carducci there are 2000 barriques.
