Dark Knight
I.G.T. Toscana
“It pays homage to the Castello’s kindred spirits, the standard bearers for a noble cause, the dark knights of the hills of Tuscany ”
A red blend, with a predominance of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese, this wine appeals to and conquers all palates.
Vintage conditions
The quality was jeopardized by late September and October rainfalls. This year the location and exposure of each vineyard made the difference: elegant and fresh grapes lacking tannic density from some vineyards – very good grapes with excellent character and spice, high gradations but also good minerality in the vineyards in front of them. Very poor quantity. Average good quality.
Eccellent vintage either by volume and quality. Very balanced, healthy, perfectly ripe grapes, by all vineyards – different zones, for altitudes, exposure and microclimate it has been uniform, everywhere. We had peaks of unbelievable excellence, the structure of the grapes has also allowed us to macerate for a long time, and therefore we expect red wines that will express themselves well in the long term, the Sangiovese has given great results.
