Niccolò V' Lunae Bosoni 2022
De Niccolò V van Lunae Bosoni is een rode wijn uit Ligurië, gemaakt van Sangiovese-, Merlot- en Pollera Nera-druiven die afkomstig zijn van wijngaarden die op grindachtige bodems zijn geteeld. Het presenteert zich in het glas met een robijnrode kleur doorspekt met paarse reflecties en geeft in de neus tonen van specerijen, zwarte peper en kaneel met een achtergrond van leer en rijpe rode vruchten. In de mond is het warm en zeer omarmend, verleidelijk met zachte tannines en een licht minerale afdronk.
The “Niccolò V” by Lunae Bosoni is a warm and seductive red wine, with great personality. A blend of three different varieties – Merlot, Pollera Nera, and Sangiovese – on the palate, it asserts itself with good minerality, ensuring a sip with a pleasantly dry finish. A label that arises from a deep understanding of the territory and local traditions, reinterpreted with a contemporary perspective to foresee the future, capable of surprising even in terms of longevity.
The “Niccolò V” Lunae Bosoni originates from the grapes of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Pollera Nera, an indigenous Ligurian variety mainly cultivated in the Lunigiana area. The vines of these varieties grow using the guyot system within stony soils, rich in skeleton, and the clusters are harvested around the middle and end of September. The must ferments in steel containers at a controlled temperature, remaining in contact with the skins for 12 days. The final maturation phase takes place first, for 12 months in oak barriques and then, once the bottling operations are completed, for another 6 months directly in glass.
The “Niccolò V” signed by the Lunae Bosoni winery presents itself visually with a ruby red color, characterized by some slight hues tending more towards purple, especially visible at the rim. The nose opens up to a whirlwind of spicy references, enriched by echoes of ripe fruit and hints of leather and tobacco. On the palate, it has excellent body, with a wide and enveloping sip, which unfolds delicately thanks to a tannic structure finely integrated into the overall framework. On the taste, a slight saltiness is perceived. An intense Ligurian red, ideal for pairing with game dishes and aged cheeses.
