Harvest Note
Following a relatively cold and wet winter, with snow in February and March, the vines woke up in April, with bud break and slow growth in early May. From mid-May, the weather became warmer and dry, and we saw a fast-flowering stage in mid-June. The summer stayed warm and dry, offering a perfect maturation process. From late August, the nights cooled off, promising great flavors and nice acidity.
Tasting Note
A beautiful ruby color and an intense aromatic complexity, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, rose, black tea. The wine is harmonious in mouth, with nice tannic structure, fruity aromas and a refreshing finale
