Vintage
2017 - After a dry winter and a spring frost, the summer was very hot and with little rainfall, causing significant damage from Roe deer. Despite the reduced quantity, the quality of the grapes was excellent thanks to careful canopy management and the exceptional drought resistance of our vineyards. This was due both to the high clay content in the soil and to many years of organic management with grassing and composting that make the soil more receptive to rainfall.
Harvest period: September 18th – September 27th
Tasting notes / Pairings
The color is golden amber and brilliant. The aroma hints at honey, toasted almond and vanilla. Sweet and rich taste, balanced by vibrant acidity. Candied fruit, citrus, apricot and dried figs are the dominant notes. Very long persistent finish.
Pairings: typical Tuscan desserts. Excellent with blue cheeses or liver paté.
