2022 Beaucastel - Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel

Amicone is made from a unique blend of selected red grapes cultivated in the Veneto region. Part of these grapes undergoes a particular harvesting process in the vineyards, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Another section of the grapes undergoes a special drying process in wooden crates in rooms at controlled temperatures. The grapes are then pressed and vinified. Once the final blend is created, part of the wine goes through a slow maturation process in tonneaux for 12 months.

This small parcel, known as a ‘clos’, formerly belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered one of the appellation’s best parcels and was purchased by the Faiveley family in 1971. This wine could be compared to a Côte de Nuits village in terms of its delicate tannins and length on the palate.
