Bruna 2025 Colline Savonesi Rosso Bansigu

70% Granaccia (a local biotype of Grenache), and the balance is Rossese, Barbera, Cinsault and Marselan. From south facing vineyards, near the Mediterranean, in Ortovero and Pogli. The vineyards consist of poor soil, pebbly limestone of sedimentary origin, and streaks of calcareous blue clay.  Mediterranean microclimate, mitigated by the constant sea breezes. Vine age spans from 5 to 40 yrs old. The wine is produced as a staggered field blend in two harvests based on the level of maturity. Maceration on the skins for six days with three daily pumpovers. The wine remains in steel for 8 months, where malo is also completed. Matured in bottle for at least a month. Bansigu means see-saw, as the children’s drawing on the label indicates.  It is meant to be an easy, but assertive wine with a clear Mediterranean imprint. A juicy, herbal, Mediterranean red blend.
