Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): 2023 was a challenging vintage in Bolgheri that, however, benefitted from Nature’s benevolence during key moments of the growing season. Winter was mild with relatively high temperatures and average rainfall that resulted in early plant growth. Spring brought abundant rainfall that helped fill up water reserves for the summer, but which also called for meticulous work in the vineyard. A hot summer saw high temperatures, albeit without reaching any extremes, alongside rains that helped offset water stress in the vineyards. This enabled the grapes to ripen gradually and regularly, allowing the berries to achieve high concentration. Rainfall in late August and cool September nights helped aromatic complexity development and preserved the acidity of the wine, resulting in a proper balance between power and elegance. Vinifikation og lagring (producentens tekst, engelsk): The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their characteristics. The alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months, partly in barriques used previously for Ornellaia and partly in concrete tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between tannic structure and the expression of fresh fruit.
