2017 is a vintage of “concentration”. Winter and spring were dry and mild (230 mm of rain from May 1st to October 1st) therefore bud break, ripening period, and harvest turned out to be anticipated for a couple of weeks. Luckily the spread of diseases has been almost absent. Given these peculiar conditions, the aim of both the vineyard management and the winemaking approach was focused on safeguarding the freshness and balance of the wines. Thankfully at the beginning of September, 50 mm of rain decreased the temperatures and helped to reach a full ripeness of grapes even if slightly irregular. The early harvest started on August 7th and finished on September 15. The quantity resulted in a 40% decrease in production due to the small size of bunches and green harvest. We handled the grapes with particular care, applying extremely soft pressing of bunches and shortening the maceration process. The wines show a complex aromatic profile and high acidity, with intense fruity, spicy, botanical, and mineral aromas and flavors. The red wines feature a bright and intense color along with a concentrated, powerful, yet balanced character. Overall, 2017 resulted in a vintage of extremely low production combined with a great quality level.
