Erasmo Late Harvest Torontel

Late Harvest Torontel

Erasmo Late Harvest is produced from Torontel grapes sourced from a traditional, dry farmed, head pruned 60 years old vineyard in the Maule Valley. The terroir and microclimate of Caliboro together with the selection in the vineyard, the low yields, the passionate "hand-crafted" care of each bunch deliver a balance between natural sweetness and natural acidity that can only be achieved by allowing nature to follow its course. Erasmo Late Harvest "Torontel" is the fruit of the friendship and collaboration between Maurizio Castelli, consultant oenologist and Francesco Marone Cinzano, producer. 

Vinification

Selected manual harvest that took place on March 27, 2009. The grapes were subsequently hanged for two months under the roof of our colonial house to dehydrate further. Manual distemming. The alcoholic fermentation took place in French oak barrels followed by several month of maturation in wood.
