The growing season was marked by abundant rainfall in autumn, followed by a mild winter and above-average temperatures in spring, resulting in surprisingly stable growth throughout our vineyards. While the summer weather was hot and dry, sea breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian coast mitigated the effect of the daytime temperatures, enabling the grapes to ripen well. The harvest, which began during the last week of August, yielded perfect grapes rich in fresh, fruity aromas. The brief periods of rainfall in September enabled the later varieties to mature well, resulting in grapes with excellent phenolic ripeness and exquisite aromas.

Wine Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, with small quantities of Merlot and Syrah

Maturation: in barriques

Alcohol content: 13%

Vinification and ageing: The grapes were carefully harvested and delivered to the cellar. Afterwards, they were de-stemmed and mashed in steel tanks. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature. The wine was then aged in second- and third-passage French oak barriques. The subsequent bottle-ageing period enabled the wine to develop balance and fulfil every ounce of its potential.
