Vintage Notes: A very early bud break (late March) was followed by a very rainy May and unfortunately by several hailstorms. From early May to mid-July in the vineyard of San Sebastiano, but not only there, as many as 6 hailstorms have damaged the shoots and the bunches. The remaining grapes, properly selected (we produced less than one third compared to a normal year) have ripened well, thanks to a sunny and dry month of September, for very aromatic wines, with outstanding tannins.

Vinification Notes: Classic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with pump-over and delestage. Average length of maceration was 24 days. Malolactic fermentation in wood, during the following spring. Refinement for 24 months in Slavonia oak casks of 25 hl.
