Nose
Intense and complex etheric fragrance with hints of honey, almonds and liquorice.
Palate
Velvety to the palate with pleasant overtones of apricots and dried figs; its length makes this a sipping wine.
Growing Conditions
Heavy snow in February produced a good water supply. Thanks to a warm, sunny spring, the first buds appeared on the younger vines in the middle of April. Differently from the weather forecasts, the summer was not particularly hot with several rain showers, cooling the soil and accelerating the various growing phases. The ripening of the fruit was then delayed, however, by the rather low temperatures at the end of the summer.
