A great vintage thanks to a particularly favourableseason; a relatively dry winter, followed by a spring characterisedby average temperatures, allowed the plants to maintain an excellent vegetative balance until summer. Some rainy days at the end of July and the beautiful temperature range experienced in August were perfect for the skins, allowing for concentrated aromas and dry extract. In September, a good amount of ventilation paved the way to the last stages of ripening, with bunches characterized by a distinctive acidity. A year that proved to be excellent even during the harvest, allowing us to bring exclusively ripe and healthy grapes into the cellar
Grape variety : Sangiovese 100%
Fermentation : Spontaneous in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature
Aging : 48 months in barrel in 50 hl and 30 hl Slavonian oak barrels
Tasting Notes : intense and brilliant ruby red colourwith a slight garnet rim. Notes of red and black berries such as strawberry, raspberry, currant, blueberry and blackberry are predominant to the nose, with hints of black cherry. The aroma is then followed by elegant floral notes, which tend to blend with spicy notes on the finish, thanks to the long ageing in wooden casks. Leather, cinnamon, pepper, tobacco and chocolate are noticeable at this stage. The palate is rich, warm, enveloping, tannic and harmonious. Long persistence. A well-balanced suite of tannins is attributable to the fine-grained wood in which the ageing took place, on top of an already excellent vintage.
Format : 750ml
