Tasting Notes
The first edition of Cobalto presents itself with intense color and an excellent brilliance; the nose expresses all its complexity. The interweaving of the fruity notes of the fermented fraction in steel and the sapidity and minerality conferred by the amphora, are exalted in a masterly way with the finely toasted notes of the wood, until it merges into an explosion of aromatic herbs that recall the complexity of the Macchia Mediterranea. The mouth is wide and juicy, perfectly reflecting the sunny season, with the sweetness and softness conferred by the wood and the typical salty note of the amphora. The progression is vibrant, supported by a very well-integrated acid vein.
Cultivation
The soil is sandstone rich with decomposing rock, 150m above sea level, yield of 7 tonnes per hectare and a density of 5500 vines per hectare, guyot trellising.
Vinification
Fermentation lasts for 15 days at a temperature of 15°C. 50% of the fermentation is done in oak, 34% in amphora, and 16% in stainless steel tanks.
Aging
10 months on lees in different vessels and a minimum of 6 months in bottle.
Val delle Rose, founded by the historic Cecchi family in 1996, is a pioneer of the Maremma region and today the largest winery in the Morellino di Scansano appellation. Originally 25 hectares, the estate expanded to 150 hectares as the family applied innovative farming methods informed by in-depth soil studies, unlocking the land’s exceptional potential. Focused on Sangiovese, alongside Vermentino and select international grapes, Val delle Rose combines organic viticulture with careful vineyard management to produce wines that express the estate’s diverse soils, Mediterranean influence, and the Cecchi family’s commitment to quality.
