The winter was predominantly dry and mild, leading to an early but uniform budding of the vines from the second week of March for the Sangiovese and from the third week for the Merlot. Spring was sunny, accompanied by some rainfall in May and June, which favoured an excellent flowering, which took place slightly early in the last week of May. The summer was hot and dry with good temperature ranges between day and night. In the last week of August, two very precious rains brought relief to the plants and lowered the temperatures, allowing the vines to complete the ripening of the grapes. The harvest began on three September in ideal conditions, with sunny days without heat peaks. These conditions resulted in grapes of excellent quality, with excellent phenolic ripeness and great aromatic balance. Brilliant ruby red in colour. The nose is rich in black fruits such as blueberries and blackberries, accompanied by a light balsamic and pan brioché note. The palate is soft supported by a nice freshness, with enveloping tannins and a long fruity aftertaste.
