Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage was characterized by a balanced season, with a dry summer and warm days well-balanced by cool nights. These conditions favored complete grape ripening, yielding wines with clear aromas, lively acidity, and excellent sugar concentration. The harvest, carried out by hand in early September, ensured the selection of the best bunches.

Winemaking and Aging

After gentle pressing of the grapes, the must is fermented at low temperatures to preserve the primary aromas. This is followed by secondary fermentation in an autoclave using the long Charmat method, with aging on the lees for approximately 90 days. This period allows the wine to acquire a delicate creaminess and greater aromatic complexity, while maintaining its typical freshness.
