VINTAGE The 2019 vintage was characterized by spring rains that
provided water reserves, vital for facing a hot summer
with limited rainfall. The generally colder and more humid climate in the first half of the year slightly delayed the vine's growing cycle compared to recent
years. A hot but regular summer, with some heat spikes
without rainfall, was followed by a September characterized
by good weather and good temperature ranges, which accompanied the gradual phenolic ripening of the grapes.

SENSATIONS
ON THE AROMA
Opens with notes of violet and red berries reminiscent of
cherry and currant; tertiary aromas
of black tea, vanilla, and white pepper add complexity.
SENSATIONS
ON THE TASTE
On the palate, it expresses itself with smooth tannins supported by a vein
of acidity that guarantees the wine's freshness and longevity.
