Description of the year 2019
2019 was an exceptional harvest both in quantity and quality, an average rainy winter was followed by a hot and dry March and April, the vines sprouted well and grew quickly. May was very rainy and the plants slowed down growth, then in June a decisive change of course with two dry and hot months. So that the grapes grew well and at the right times, the beginning of the veraison was in the first days of August to be concluded in late August. The warm but not too hot September weather with some rains contributed to the good ripening, the harvest was on October 5th and 6th.
Grape: 100% Sangiovese
Harvest: the slightly late harvest of these grapes results in a very fruity wine with significant body. The grapes are harvested by hand.
Vinification: in the cantina, after a light pressing of the bunches, fermentation takes place for 25 days in steel vats at controlled temperatures, where the wine is subject to periodic pumping up and dèlastage.
Aging: the wine is refined together with the lees, in vats that have an average capacity of 30-35 hectolitres sothat an optimum equilibrium is achieved. Before being placed on the market the wine undergoes an ulterior 4-month refinement in the bottle.
Characteristics: dark garnet red, with a generous nose, it has aromas of dried flowers, spices, and ripe fruits. It finishes long.
Combinations: A very good accompaniment for game, beef, and seasoned pecorino cheese.
