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.

Notes

This year produced 2364 bottles, 118 magnums and 12 double magnums. In 2015 the Vigna Preve showed great dimension and complexity. The saline component leads the palate as often happens with this plot. There is a particular strength and elegant progression with this vintage.
