After a suitably rainy spring and with normal temperatures, the 2017 summer was very hot and dry and the grapes of early varieties such as PINOT NERO quickly reached full sugar ripeness, but the polyphenolic one was a little more irregular. The harvests were on average 10-12 days earlier than the average.

The grapes were harvested manually, discarding the bunches that had sunburn or irregular color.

Alcoholic fermentation was carried out at a controlled temperature to preserve the fruity aromas as much as possible, also using a small percentage of non-stemmed bunches.

At the end of fermentation, after a first racking, the wine was immediately placed in second and third passage barriques for aging for about a year, after which it was bottled at the beginning of 2019 after a couple of months of natural decantation without clarification.

The bottles rested in our cellars for almost 3 years before the start of marketing.

The wine has a light and delicate ruby ​​color, with an olfactory range that opens on notes of creme de cassis, red currant, red tarot orange and vinyl, followed by dried violet, nutmeg, black pepper and toasted coffee, with echoes conclusive of cabinet making and empyheumatic. The palate impresses with an elegant citric freshness and a silky tannin which slowly focuses on a balanced hint of softness; all enriched by the return of fruit and the more austere spiciness that accompany the sip to a closure of excellent length
