  Short cold maceration of the grapes (24 hours – 8/10°C), followed by fermentation with skin contact for 8-10 days at a controlled temperature of 24 °C, with frequent pumping over in order to enhance and preserve the fruit aromas. At the end of fermentation, the temperature is gradually elevated to 30°C in order to allow extraction of color from the skins. The wine is aged in 350 liter barrels, 100% French oak, for a period of 12 months.

• Seasonal Outcome The growing cycle began slightly in advance. We had a very rainy spring and cool temperatures, and well below the seasonal average, in the summer months. This meant that the maturation of the grapes took place with a delay of about 10 days compared to the previous years. The harvest of early varieties was facilitated by a rather cool beginning of September, while late varieties enjoyed a rise in temperatures in the last decade of the month, which allowed for a full ripening of the grapes.

The color is ruby red, intense and deep. The perfume is fresh, fruity and complex at first glance, enhanced by hints of cherry, plum jam and red fruits, alongside hints of vanilla and licorice given by the wood. On the palate, it is velvety and well balanced, with the presence of sweet tannins. A wine with a long-lasting finish, enjoyable right away but also suitable for a good aging.

• Seasonal Outcome A winter of heavy snowfall was followed by a spring with normal rainfall. Initial phases of the vegetative cycle proceeded regularly until the second ten days of May, when the high temperatures accelerated growth and resulted in early flowering and fruit set. Rainfall in June provided good hydric reserve in the soil, allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes about ten days in advance. Overall this has been a good harvest with peaks of excellence.

Deep ruby red color. On the nose fresh fruity aromas with notes of red fruits, cherries and prunes jam, well integrated with notes of vanilla and licorice. On the palate it’s velvety, full-bodied and harmonious, with gentle tannins. Persistent in the finish, it’s suitable for a long aging.

• Seasonal Outcome Spring conditions were quite regular, with temperatures below the season averages. From mid August till mid September we suddenly had a warmth wave, with very good temperature difference between day and night. The last week of September and the first of October have been characterized by a rotation of sunny and rainy days. The training strategies in the vineyards, the watchful selection of the grapes and the technologies available in the winery, have allowed us to produce high quality wines even with the late harvested varieties.
