Vintage 2020 Organic
Production area: 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-star vintage.
Grapes
Sangiovese, locally called "Brunello" (the same variety used in the production of Brunello di Montalcino).
Vinification: Fermentation on grape skins for about 10 - 12 days at controlled temperature below 28° C in shallow, wide steel tanks (150 hl), in order to preserve a fresh and long-living fruit. Ageing: 12 months in Slavonian oak casks between 75 and 150 hl, followed by refinement in bottle.
