The Piattelli Grand Reserve Trinità 2008 is a blend that reflects the best wine of the Harvest. For this purpose, the best varietals of the year were chosen and blend tests are carried out over a period of several weeks. The appropriate proportions of each wine are carefully researched so that each grape can contribute its most outstanding qualities within the blend. This daunting task is completed the month prior to bottling to ensure the "perfect blend" for our consumers.

Vinification: After months of careful cultivation, the grapes are hand-picked and de-stemmed. Each varietal then goes through a five day cold maceration and then proceeds to fermentation which is carried out in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. This type of fermentation allows us to preserve the flavors and aromas of the grapes. After fermentation the aging process is completed on French and American oak barrels for approximately twelve months in order to harmonize the components of the wine. After aging, it is then that we create our blend of the best Piattelli wines.

Aging: The aging is carried out in French oak barrels for 1 year. The objective of this aging is to ensure the harmony of each of the components. Finally, after several tests, the blend is made and Piattelli Grand Reserve Trinità is born.

Tasting Notes: The Piattelli Grand Reserve Trinità has an intense granite color with violet nuances. The aroma reminds us of fruits like raspberry, cherry and plum, characteristics of the varietals that make up this blend. Spicy aromas like black pepper and clove are also apparent and aromas like chocolate and vanilla achieved during its aging in the French oak barrels. In the mouth it is balanced with good body and a long finish.
