Vintage details

The 2023 vintage was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with warm but not excessive summers and well-distributed rainfall. These conditions allowed for optimal grape maturation, maintaining freshness and intense aromas. The berries were harvested at the right degree of ripeness, ensuring a balance between sugars, acidity, and perfect phenolic maturity, meaning the full evolution of tannins present in the skins.

Vinification and aging

After a manual selection of the grape bunches, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures with a maceration on the skins for about twenty days, useful for extracting color and tannin in a balanced way. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is placed in French oak barriques for about twelve months, where it refines and gains aromatic complexity. A further period of rest in the bottle completes the process, giving the consumer a soft, deep wine that is ready for tasting.
