VINTAGE: The 2018 vintage begins with average winter temperatures, subsequently in February/March we witnessed some waves of frost and snow. Spring began with a fairly mild April, the rains were limited, while in May we had significant rains. After a hot and dry June, we had a drop in temperatures in mid-July with some scattered hailstorms which caused a delay in the phenological phases of the vine and we had to wait until the end of July for complete veraison. A north wind in the first days of September ensured a good concentration of the bunches and absence of serious secondary diseases, allowing excellent ripening of the grapes until the harvest. The harvest period was characterized by good weather and mild temperatures.

HARVEST: Early October

VINIFICATION: Cold pre-fermentation maceration for approximately four days, followed by fermentation in steel and natural cement tanks at a controlled temperature below 26 degrees for a total of 3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation in cement.

AGING: About 30 months in Slavonian and French oak barrels of different capacities (10/15/30/50 hl). Bottling in April and May following the most favorable lunar phases. Long refinement in bottle.

TASTING NOTES: Fresh, complex and fruity nose with balsamic and meaty final notes. In the mouth it is very vertical with important but silky and well-blended tannins and a strong flavor that makes it very gastronomic.
