notes by john blacks
Translucent bright red. The nose is attractive and fascinating, with the freshness of the 2018 vintage which is fully revealed followed by notes of nutmeg and young red fruit. On the palate the first impact is decisive, generous and controlled. Balance is king in the mouth, where the tannic texture balances perfectly with the acidity and allows you to enjoy this wine already in your youth.

vintage notes
2018 was characterized by a very cold winter, whose cold temperatures led to a delay in budding of about a week compared to the average of previous years. Spring was characterized by abundant rainfall. Flowering occurred in the last week of May. The summer, initially cool, continued with higher temperatures in June and July but never reached excessive peaks. The strong temperature variations between day and night in the days preceding the harvest favored a slow and constant ripening of the grapes.

harvest
Manual, first week of October

winemaking
Manual selection of the bunches before destemming and selection of the berries with an optical selector. Spontaneous fermentation follows without the use of added yeasts and maceration assisted by frequent punching down. All this takes place in truncated conical steel vats at a controlled temperature for 25 days.
