The Caccia al Piano 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Ruit Hora is a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Syrah and 5% Petit Verdot. Fruit comes from four separate vineyard sites in different areas of the appellation (from 23 hectares in total). This warm-vintage wine delivers a lot of ripe fruit, sweet tannins and spicy oak toast with hints of the vanilla you get with barrique aging (although botti is also used for 16 months). Named after a Latin line meaning "time passes quickly" from the great Italian poet Goisuè Carducci (the first of his countrymen to receive a Noble Prize in Literature), Ruit Hora is a wine that has changed stylistically in recent years. Past vintages were sometimes heavy and thick on the mid-palate. This vintage primarily showcases the softness of the Merlot. Production is an ample 100,000 bottles and it will be released this September.
