PRODUCTION

The year was characterized by varied weather conditions, which, although challenging, offered unique opportunities. The lack of rainfall, although a predominant factor, allowed the vines to adapt and show their resilience. Favorable weather towards the end of the season, with intermittent but beneficial rainfall, helped optimize conditions and allowed for full and balanced grape ripening. This combination of climatic factors culminated in a harvest that, while demanding effort, proved to be extremely gratifying.

TASTING NOTES

Medium to low intensity, with a bright ruby color, it has a very light and delicate appearance. On the nose, it highlights berries and red fruits, surrounded by spicy and balsamic aromas, with hints of bay leaf and eucalyptus, as well as pleasant toasted notes. The palate is fresh and light, very lively yet expansive, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and an aromatic retro-nasal finish.
