Habemus etichetta bianca

From the enchanting landscape of Tuscia, with its clayey mixture, the San Giovenale winery is born, mother of excellent wines, such as Habemus, born from the juicy grapes grown on these hills, under the heat of the sun and mitigated by the soft breezes of the Tyrrhenian a dry and temperate climate. The vineyards are organized with a very high plant density, 11,000 plants per hectare. The low yield of grapes (25q per hectare) and the aging of 20 months in new barriques, finally guarantee the excellence of Habemus. Wine resulting from a particular sensitivity for the environment that can be found at every production step, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. In fact, San Giovenale Agricola is a certified organic company that has as its undisputed priority the protection of the territory: garden vineyards, use in the field only of spring water and plant products for plant health, garden roofs, ventilated walls and roofs and a system of innovative temperature control by capturing geothermal heat, in order to have a low energy consumption, entirely self-produced with an innovative photovoltaic system. Wine that returns the pleasure of feeling there, surrounded by the vineyards and under the sun, breathing the scent of Mediterranean salt in the air and tasting the juicy pulp of freshly picked grapes. This is possible because Habemus is a completely natural wine, which has the gift of receiving all the care and attention of a company that produces only this wine, as a sincere expression of the richness and complexity of its uncontaminated territory.

Habemus San Giovenale is one of the milestones of Lazio viticulture, an extraordinary wine with a Rodanian blend. Born in Blera, in Tuscia, from a clayey soil with skeleton, with a dry climate and constantly ventilated by the Tyrrhenian Sea, from 9-year-old vines of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Tempranillo, planted with sapling, at an altitude between 300 and 400 meters above sea level with exposure to the south, south east and south west, with a density of 11,000 plants, all capable of providing a generous and well-defined aromatic contribution and with very low yields in the plant in order to concentrate aromas and extracted in a few fruits, harvested when fully ripe. The grapes are harvested in the second and third decade of September, manually with boxes for each vine and with a yield of 25 quintals. The grapes are crushed and destemmed within an hour of harvesting and left to ferment for 15 days in steel tanks and aged for 20 months in barrique, and then finally aged in the bottle for 6 months.

Habemus San Giovenale is a limpid and elegant red, with a strong personality, which conquers for its topicality and which will remain over time. it has a full and concentrated ruby, extremely dark and impenetrable. Consistent, with violent purple hues. The nose is very broad, deep and intense, complex and fine, clear references to ripe red pulp fruit, followed by tones of licorice, cinnamon and cloves. Triumph of sweet spices, black pepper and anise and fruity notes of plum, currant and raspberry. The balsamic note and a hint of aromatic herbs are softer. On the palate it is well balanced, fresh and warm at the same time and characterized by important fruity returns in the aftertaste. Dry, soft and quite savory. Dense, material but made dynamic and snappy by a surprising acidity in balance with a refined tannin, which intrigues for its extreme silkiness in the mouth. It closes long on spicy and balsamic notes.
