FERENC MÁTÉ Banditone I.G.T.

Year: 2010

Grape: 100% Syrah

Alcohol content: 15%

Area: Montalcino

Characterization: Planted to a high density of 6,200 vines per hectare, (3,000 per acre), the yields are kept extremely low by three annual green prunings to concentrate flavors. Selected, hand-picked at fullest maturity and fermented in small temperature-controlled stainless steel vats or new wooden barrels, the grapes are punched down by hand to extract colors and tannins, while the must is kept cool to maintain the rich aromas of fruits and spices. The wines are aged for up to two years and a half in Allier French oak barriques and tonneaux. In the Máté vineyards and winery, no effort is spared to yield wines of great refinement, replete with unforgettable flavors.
