Nose
Typical intense ethereal aroma reminiscent of ground almonds and marzipan, dried fruit, honey, dates and apricot.
Palate
Warm and fairly sweet on the palate. Its alcohol content and its persistent finish make it unique and rich. You will appreciate its easy drinkability and its full aromas.
Growing Conditions
The total absence of freezing weather during winter, an ideal amount of rain during the spring followed by a sudden rise in temperatures stimulated budding in some zones as early as the first weeks of April and perfect maturation. A hot summer with fairly fresh nights (with a range from 35°C during the day to 18-20°C at night) and scarce but well-distributed rains led to a markedly homogeneous and early ripening of the grapes.
We can therefore include this vintage among the best of recent years. A meticulous choice of the buds, the care of the plants and soils, careful pruning of the bunches and rigorous analyses of the grapes led to harvesting at the right levels of sugars and phenols, thus guaranteeing excellent grapes, ready to be vinified.
Aging
4-5 years in oak casks (caratelli)
