Tasting“Creamy and supple, with a velvety finish that makes it approachable already. Scents of espresso and doused campfire give the nose a smoky cast, balanced by ample ripeness on the palate.” Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate Robert Parker) – December 2017

Detailed information
Vintage
After a very warm summer period, welcome rains arrived mid-August, followed again by glorious sunny weather. A beneficial wind then helped to regulate the excessive temperatures. This allowed the grapes to be harvested under ideal conditions, with perfectly ripe healthy fruits. Thanks to this, 2015 is one of the best vintages of the last decade.
Harvest began on the7th September 2015.
