The 2022 vintage: During the winter we carried out deep tillage of the soil in the rows and under the rows to be able to store
as many water reserves as possible. This allowed the vines not to suffer too much water stress despite the drought and heat
extraordinary of the spring and summer months. The rains at the end of July and beginning of August were decisive for the correctness
maturation took place, and also led to a lowering of the minimum night temperatures allowing a
good biosynthesis of anthocyanins and aromas. The harvest took place in the second week of September. Grapes yes
had good technological, phenolic and sanitary quality. The wines obtained show complexity on the nose and a beautiful texture
tannic. Despite the climatic conditions, good acidity is to be highlighted, an excellent prerequisite for refinement.
Tasting notes: Intense ruby color with intense notes of berries, cherries and blood orange. The palate
it is very juicy with elegant balance, refreshing acidity and a very fine structure
tannic. To be enjoyed now, but has the potential to blossom into a more complex wine until
next 10 years.
