Harvest: it is carried out by hand with selection of the grapes, began on September 5 for the Cabernet Sauvignon and was completed at the end of the month for Sangiovese. In this vintage Le Difese has higher percentage of Sangiovese, due to the excellent maturity of the grapes
Fermentation: Careful selection and sorting of the bunches by hand. Soft destemming of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature (27-28°C). Maceration on the skins for 13-15 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon and for about 14-18 days for the Sangiovese, with successive phases of pumping over and frequent deléstage to stimulate aromatic extraction and soften the tannins. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in steel and concluded towards the end of November.
Ageing. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine remains in steel for about 3-4 months at temperatures around 10°C. Periodic decanting is carried out to eliminate the sediments. The wine then undergoes an aging in wood, with French oak barriques previously used for Sassicaia and Guidalberto, for an average period of 6-8 months. At the end of the aging period in wood, the wine returns into the steel tanks where the temperature is stabilized for about 20 days at around 4-5°C for the necessary tartaric stabilization, before bottling.
