climate trend

A mild and rainy autumn yields to a winter with good amounts of rain and snow. A rather warm February and March follow, and a spring characterized by heavy rains and interludes of hail, with a late frost in early April reporting no particular damage. The summer is hot and culminates in a 15-day late harvest.

vinification & maturation

Crafted according to the 'Ripasso' technique, with vinification lasting 15-18 days. Ageing takes place in stainless steel. After racking in February-March and completing the malolactic fermentation, the wine ages according to tradition to acquire balance and roundness while keeping its original fruity character. Maturation completes with bottle ageing.
