notes by Giovanni Neri
Bright red and young. On the nose it is intriguing and generous, notes of bergamot, wild violet, cherry and morello cherry stand out. On the palate it is relaxed and harmonious, intense and succulent. The finish is of great balance, clear, savory and pressing. It presents a great drink but will be best enjoyed in a few years

vintage notes
The winter was characterized by mild temperatures with rainfall on average compared to previous years. A stable and sunny March and April were followed by a singular May with very low temperatures and abundant rainfall. All these factors contributed to delaying flowering and fruit setting by a few days. June and July were hot and dry with high peaks which allowed the initial vegetative delay to be recovered. The abundant spring water reserves and the hot and stable August allowed the grapes to ripen regularly.

winemaking
Manual selection of bunches before destemming and selection of berries with optical selector. Spontaneous fermentation follows without the use of added yeasts and maceration aided by frequent punching down.
