terroir

Soil
Calcareous soil from which the wines' broad taste derives, great mineral complexity that translates into tasting freshness.

Production Area
We are in the northern area of the Bolgheri DOC appellation, near the village of Bolgheri.

Density Plantation
Medium-density vineyards, with 6,000 plants per hectare.

Yeld
65 quintals of grapes.

climate

An exceptional vintage, characterized by a high concentration, but where the harmony was yet maintained. The hot and dry summer, together with the constant ventilation from the sea, helped the slightly early ripening. Yields per hectare were low, as well as the wine yields because the grapes had a particularly thick peel.
