VINTAGE 2019

The 2019 harvest began about ten days later than in previous years and with volumes reduced by 15-20% compared to 2018. After years of great heat in the final ripening phase, in which the sugar accumulation was privileged over the aromatic one, we finally had a year in which the low temperatures, combined with day/ night excursions, allowed an excellent accumulation of coloring substances and a good acidity. Despite the heavy rains of May, the grapes were healthy and loose, therefore particularly suitable for appassimento. The wines denote more territorial expressions of greater longevity and freshness.
