VINTAGE 2018
2018 was a quite cool year, characterised by abundant rainfalls which accompanied the entire growth cycle of the vine. Overall, the summer saw temperatures below average. Just before harvesting the grapes from our high-altitude vineyards a week of healthy wind from the north contributed to drying vines and grapes, preparing them for picking. Harvest started on September 16th and lasted for 8 days with a careful selection of the best bunches.
ORIGIN
The 2018 Riserva was produced exclusively with a selection grapes from our proprietary vineyards, comprising from our oldest parcels.
AGEING
The 2018 Riserva was vinified in both Slavonian oak barrels and concrete, using only indigenous yeasts from our vineyards. Successively, it was aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 3 years.
EMOTION
If you have been told that the 2018 vintage was disastrous, this wine will show you now – and even more so in the years to come – how wrong it is. Fragrant and loaded with finesse, this multi-layered wine offers an alluring nose with notes of red berry, violet, dump underbrush, Oriental spice. The palate has great depth and lots of flavour: raspberry compote, orange zest, licorice, black tea and tobacco. Fresh acidity keeps it energized and lends intensity. A very seductive wine with beautiful complexity and levity.
