mehrere Informationen

Beau Constantia Lucca exudes heavenly aromas of lush plums, dark mint chocolate and fine aniseed with elegant restraint, wonderful depth and complexity that deserves further exploration. The dense concentration of red berry fruit on the palate pampers with polished tannins together with a great texture and structure. The wine is full-bodied and opulent, but at the same time light, thanks to its fantastic minerality and fragrant freshness, which leads to a long and clearly defined finish. This wine has been handmade to express the elegance and finesse of these original Bordeaux varieties. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes, which had reached perfect ripeness, were harvested by hand and selected berry by berry for further production. This was followed by a cold swelling phase, alcoholic fermentation and other swelling phases, which took place on the skins for 25 days. After pressing in the traditional basket press, the wine was transferred into barrels. The wine matured for 18 months in small French oak barrels, 35% of which were new wood.
