Vintage description

2015 began with heavy snowfall that allowed for a good accumulation of water in the soil. The vegetative cycle was anticipated, and after a mild spring came a very hot and dry summer. Thanks to the winter water reserves, the plants did not undergo any stress, which allowed for an excellent ripening of the fruit.

This first year produced 820 bottles, 42 magnums and 2 double magnums. The position of this small plot produces a wine with particular freshness and balsamic notes. The year gave compact tannins, with typical balanced character from the village.
