Nose
Delicately fruity nose.
Palate
Flavoursome, complex, velvety palate with a very leisurely aftertaste. A Vin Santo of indisputable elegance.
Growing Conditions
An autumn and winter of average temperatures and good rainfall produced a precious water supply in one of the driest years on record.
Unpredictably, April was very mild until the 7th, when first snow then frost caused the thermometer to fall to –7. In May, temperatures rose considerably to above-average levels that continued until and throughout August.
The result in the vineyard was perfectly healthy grapes with high sugar content, acidity around 6.5 g/l, thick skins and a wealth of polyphenols.
The medium-high to excellent quality compensated in part for the disappointingly low yields.
