Detailed information
Vintage
After a warm and hot summer, some rainy periods enabled the grapes to achieve the ideal maturity. During the harvest, the wind regulated the excessive temperatures, preserving the aromas of the grapes. This ideal weather and healthy conditions make the 2015 vintage one of the most qualitative in recent years. The Northern vineyards have produced very concentrated Syrahs, with very pure aromas and phenomenal depth. We are facing a very great vintage.
