This wine is dedicated to Philip Mazzei (1730-1816), an illustrious ancestor of the family's, passionate grape grower, political thinker, and "citizen of the world". Made with a blend of grapes selected from all the Mazzei’s estates, Philip is the quintessence of Tuscany. It embodies the “New World” spirit of Tuscan winemaking, best represents the “revolutionary” character of Philip Mazzei, and expresses our desire to pursue happiness.Appellation: Toscana IGTVineyards location: Fonterutoli - Castellina in Chianti (SI) Belguardo - Montebottigli (GR)Grape varieties: 100% Cabernet SauvignonAlcohol: 14,80% vol.Total acidity: 5,90‰Vineyards altitude: 50 - 310 mt (165 - 1,020 ft) a.s.l.; S-SW exp.Soil: MiscellaneousVineyards age: 10 - 15 yearsTraining system: Spur cordon-trainingNr. of vines per hectare: 6,600Harvest: Hand picked from Sept. 16th (Belguardo), Oct. 7th (Fonterutoli)Fermentation temperature: 28 - 30° CPeriod of maceration: 16 days (Fonterutoli), 20 days (Belguardo)Aging: 24 months in small french and american oak barrels (500 lt / 30% new)Bottling: March 2012Available on the market: July 4th, 2013Production: 12,000 bottlesFormats: 750 mlFirst vintage: 2008Aging potential: Over 20 yearsKey descriptors: Full, ripe and intriguing body, long taste with pleasant and fresh aftertasteFood pairing: Game stews, aged and blue cheese, spicy foodCases: 6 bottles
