THE 2017 VINTAGE

It was a very dry year marked by an early harvest. The summer was quite long, dry and warm, however with some cool nights which allowed rippening to go on without interruptions and consequently the harvest was quite early. These grapes were harvested manually in early September and the result is a wine full of freshness, texture and minerality.
