Nose
Delicately fruity nose.
Palate
Flavoursome, complex, velvety palate with a very leisurely aftertaste. A Vin Santo of indisputable elegance.
Growing Conditions
Starting in December 2001, the winter was atypical with little rainfall and temperatures above normal levels after the initial cold.
The seasons then progressed more typically, except for a scorching week in June that seemed like the beginning of a torrid summer, but the rest of the growing year saw consistent rainfall and below-average temperatures.
This highly unusual situation delayed the ripening of the fruit, although at harvesting time the grapes were in good, healthy condition. Overall, it was a fine harvest that produced wines of good colour and body in addition to some very interesting selections.
