2023 VINTAGE FEATURES

Seasonal trend very challenging: in May 2023, heavy rain caused flooding in the region and landslides on the hills. For us, this meant we could not access the vineyards for many days.

Organic vineyards management was difficult for the attack of mildew, but thanks to the big effort of our team, we obtained good grapes, even though yield was low.

This wine is very balanced and easy-to-drink, obtained after careful winemaking.
