VINEYARD: The 2019 vintage had a slow start due to a fairly dry but prolonged winter, at least until mid-March. Nonetheless, the vegetative regrowth was generally normal: the deluge of rain throughout April and May, coupled with rather cold temperatures for the season, resulting in considerable water accumulation in the ground that compensated for the low levels of winter rainfall. The last week of June and the first week of July were recorded as the hottest, followed by dry days until August without spikes of heat. The end of August and start of September were marked by sporadic storms capable of rebalancing the grapes' ripening. The second half of September was dry, producing an excellent harvest (starting slightly late for Sagrantino and Trebbiano Spoletino), and lasting until the end of October.

WINE CELLAR: The excellent vintage, combined with plenty of water, a prolonged period of vegetative growth and gradual maturing of the grapes, was the perfect combination from every aspect for perfect grapes of the highest quality to enter the cellar. Late varieties, such as Sagrantino and Trebbiano Spoletino in particular, benefited from the early September rains and the dry period around the harvest - all decisive factors in the creation of highly-balanced and fine wines that are also well-structured, fresh and vivacious. The overall character of the wines is elegant, complex and nuanced. With excellent acidity and the hard parts perfectly realised, we can only but imagine a bright future for these wines with great aging potential.
