Palate
The nice tannic structure, together with a refined consistency, are the expression of a great Sangiovese coming from a very good harvest. Despite its young age is very smooth and easy to be drank, thanks to a perfect balance of all its components.
Growing Conditions
Production Area: Chianti Classico
Both Winter and Spring brought along mild temperatures and heavy rains. We had to wait for the beginning of Summer to register a stable high-pressure situation, that gave us a wonderful July and a hot and dry August, with no rainfalls for about a month. On August 21st it finally rained and this gave some rest to the vines, that could afterwards fully ripen thanks to a perfect month of September.
