NOTES BY GIOVANNI NERI A year of great balance. At sight it is bright and bright red. Red fruits such as cherry and black cherry stand out on the nose. In the mouth it is rich and elegant, with a dense tannic texture and a persistent and pleasant finish. It can be enjoyed immediately but will be at its peak in a few years.

HARVEST Manual in the first week of September.

VINIFICATION Manual selection of the bunches before destemming and selection of the grapes with optical selector. Spontaneous fermentation follows without the use of added yeasts and maceration assisted by frequent punching down. Everything takes place in cone-shaped steel vats at a controlled temperature for 18 days.

AGING PERIOD 12 months in cask

Winter 2020 was characterized by mild temperatures and below average rainfall. A return of cold at the end of March slowed down the vegetative restart and bud break was then in line with previous years. Spring continued regularly with a mild climate and flowering and fruit set took place in optimal conditions. In June there were excellent rainfall. The summer was hot and sunny, without excessive temperatures. All this has led to a slow and constant ripening of the grapes.
