Giorgio Primo I.G.T. 2013 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (45%) and Petit Verdot (5%) grapes. “La Massa” is made up of 27 hectares all with southern exposure in the “Conca d’Oro” (Golden Basin) of Panzano. The vineyards are planted at 360 meters above sea level. The soil is a mixture of scaly clay and galestro (loose marl and limestone). The training system is spurred cordon and provides a yield, per plant, about 0.9 Kg at a density of 6,250 plants per hectare. The soils fall into three distinct geological formations: an undifferentiated complex of clayey schist and calca- reous marl, a formation of scaly yellow and grey marl (galestro) and a third segment of large blocks or layers enclosed in a clayey matrix. 2013 can be characterized like an excellent growing season. After a regular germination, temperatures below average in May slowed plant growth. The development has resumed its normal course during the summer, facilitated by good temperatures and short rains at regular intervals. Little rainfall in early September allowed theplants to reach an optimum level of phenolic ripeness for a mid-September harvest of Merlot. During the first half of October Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot were brought into the cellar. The year 2013 is a further confirmation that the new cellar allowed us to improve the quality of our wines. Spontaneous fermentations, extractions using the punching down method, pumping with peristaltic pumps, strict control of temperature and continuous tastings are the main processes that have allowed us to express the full potential of the grapes harvested. The wines were then aged in 60% new French oak barrels which improve the structure and aromatic sensation.
