Cielo e Terra 3 Passo Vino Rosso 2020
Cielo e Terra is a joint venture between the Cielo family, who have been making wine in the Veneto for over a century, and the Cantine dei Colli Berici. Drawing on the Colli Berici’s enormous vineyard resources, combined with the Cielo family’s winemaking skills and commercial acumen, Cielo e Terra consistently produces wines which are fantastic value for money from both indigenous and international varietals.
Coming from Puglia region, 3 Passo Rosso is made from Negroamaro & Sangiovese grapes. This organic wine has its name derived from the 3 steps required to produce it. Partial Appassimento (grape drying) to get more concentrated fruit flavours. Over pumping of the must in a tank at a cold temperature to extract sweet tannins and dark colour. Ageing in oak to enhance smoothness and longevity.
Here we are at the absolute top of value, in particular as regards to concentration. A block, a sea of extractive substances that determine its exceptional sensory performance from a quantitative point of view. Then the quality of the sensations, with the softness of taste’s enveloping effect of admirable palatal balance, the cleanliness, the clarity of the blackberry and the spices that increase in its spectacular scent. Among the best reds of the year, chapeau. - Luca Maroni, Annuario Del Migliori Vini, 98 Points.
