2024
THE 2024 VINTAGE
The mild winter and an extraordinarily warm April brought budburst forward slightly. The months of May and June, which were rainy and featured below-average temperatures, were followed by a July and August with temperatures so high that they inhibited photosynthesis and delayed ripening. In the first few days of September, temperatures suddenly dropped below average and were accompanied by frequent rainfall. This unusual seasonal pattern has given us fresher wines, lower in alcohol and concentration, but with surprisingly graceful tannins.

2019
THE 2019 VINTAGE
The extraordinarily cold weather in April and May caused a delay in the growing season, which was recuperated later, thanks to a warm and dry period. The sudden rise in temperature then favored the production of sparse and light grape bunches. August and September, sunny and without torrid temperatures, allowed for an optimal ripening of the grapes. A harvest which will go down in history, with grapes of high quality and an intense territorial personality which gave us wines with great structure and sapidity.
TASTING NOTES
Intense and deep mauve red. Complex and intense on the nose, with prominent aromas of ripe fruit and marasca cherry accompanied by hints of dried flowers and spicy notes. Soft and powerful, closing with a long and persistent finish.
