PRODUCTION
The year was characterized by varied climatic 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 rewarding.
TASTING NOTES
Elegant red wine, medium-high robe, slow, regular tear, and purple hues. Deep nose of red and stone fruits (cherry, black currant), compotes, fermentation memories, and sweet notes of wood and toasted aromas. Very direct attack, where freshness and mouthfeel prevail. In retronasa,l the aromatic nuances appear, asking for one more sip to recall them.
