THE 2023 GROWING SEASON
2023 was a challenging vintage in Bolgheri that, however, benefitted from Nature's benevolence during key
moments of the growing season. Winter was mild with relatively high temperatures and average rainfall that
resulted in early plant growth. Spring brought abundant rainfall that helped fill up water reserves for the summer,
but which also called for meticulous work in the vineyard. A hot summer saw high temperatures, albeit without
reaching any extremes, alongside rains that helped offset water stress in the vineyards. This enabled the grapes to
ripen gradually and regularly, allowing the berries to achieve high concentration.
Rainfall in late August and cool September nights helped aromatic complexity development and preserved the
acidity of the wine, resulting in a proper balance between power and elegance.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their characteristics. The alcoholic
fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months,
partly in barriques used previously for Ornellaia and partly in concrete tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between
tannic structure and the expression of fresh fruit.
