Vintage 2020 Organic

Production area:

Montalcino - Sant'Angelo hill overlooking the Orcia river. Soils of medium density with some limestone pebbles. Gentle slopes facing South – South/West.

Weather conditions:

The first part of winter was very rainy followed by low   temperatures during the months of January and February and  a   light snowfall at the end of winter. Regular spring with rains and   temperatures in the seasonal average. The beginning of summer   was slightly rainy. Hot summer months, with some beneficial   rainstorm at the end of August. In September the temperatures   difference between night and day  facilitated the synthesis of the   polyphenols, making the technological and phenolic ripeness of   the   grapes perfectly balanced, with an hight aromatic component. 5 -stars   vintage.

Grapes:

All grapes from Col d’Orcia vineyards, 52% Merlot, 25%  Syrah, 23% Petit Verdot. During the harvest, we select the grapes searching for balanced ripeness of each variety except for the Syrah to which we allow a slight over-ripeness to increase the complexity of the wine.

Vinification:

All varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. About 12/14 days of maceration at a controlled temperature  of 25°. Malolactic fermentation took place in concrete tanks. From there the wine went directly into barriques in spring 2021.

Ageing:  

Separate ageing of the varieties and lots for 22 months in French oak barrels. No racking until the wine was blended (completed in early summer 2023). The wine reached its stability during the winter, when it was submitted to the seasonal cold temperatures in order to clarify the wine in a natural way. After bottling the wine aged in bottle.
