Details
Malbec is a newcomer among the grape varieties cultivated in Italy! The name "Vie Cave" comes from the traffic routes that the Etruscans dug in the tuff of the Sovana region in ancient times - around the vineyards of today's Fattoria Aldobrandesca.
Recommendation
The Malbec wines, which are particularly well known in Argentina, go excellently with grilled beef, but also enhance autumnal venison entrecôte with porcini mushroom sauce, pasta with a strong Bolognese or brasato from the oven.
Vinification
After gentle pressing, the must is placed in steel tanks. The three to four-day cold maceration at 5-10 °C is followed by temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation. The wine then goes through malolactic fermentation and a ten-month rest period in French oak before it matures for a further few months in the bottle.
