Harvest Note
Excellent weather season. Right quantity of rainfall, well distributed in the course of green and production development. Correct temperatures curve, never excessive and with remarkable excursions between day and night avoided vineyards to be stressed. The excellent vegetation conditions allowed us to delay the harvest to the first decade of October, that is the ideal period of harvest for Sangiovese.Wines of this vintage are characterized by an exceptional smoothness and concentration, full-body and persistence. Excellent to age.
Tasting Note
Ruby red color with garnet highlights. Ample and highly complex flavors at the nose develop then to mineral notes of graphite, fruity tones of red berries and spicy aromas of clove and vanilla. Long and balanced at the palate, smooth and persistent notes bring to to the elegant end characterized by present and velvety tannins.
