Tasting note

Very fine, clean blend of raspberry and plum, light notes of potpourri, white pepper, dried orange peel, minor tobacco, and a bit of sweet licorice. Very fresh and juicy on the palate, fine fruit with even finer tannins, lifted acidity that carries the wine along effortlessly.

Vintage 2021

A heavy snowfall in January left good water reserves. The spring was dry and cool, with good vegetative growth. The summer followed the trend of low temperatures with more rain than normal. Overall, a cooler and wetter summer. Grapes ripened slowly and the harvest began a week later than usual. A vintage with abundant grapes, good acidity, contained alcohol content and perfect ripening. Long live 2021!
