VINTAGE

2022

vintage description

Temperatures above average in spring resulted in early budding and a prolonged period of high temperatures in May accelerated flowering. Thanks to careful vineyard management and occasional showers, the vines survived the summer characterized by stages of extreme heat without stress. The harvest began almost two weeks earlier than usual and, thanks to ideal weather conditions, the grapes reached an exceptional degree of quality. The red wines of the 2022 vintage are superb, as they could reach perfect ripeness and develop complex fruit notes. The flavor is full, with expressive aromas. The white wines, on the other hand, are characterised by notes of refined fruit and balanced acidity.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

  • grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
  • yield: 55 hl/hectare
  • altitude: 250 – 350 m
  • soil: calcareous clay and gravelly soils
  • climate: extreme interplay between sunny days, influenced by the Mediterranean climate, and cool nights, marked by the cold downslope winds from the surrounding mountains

winemaking

Once destemmed, the grapes ferment at controlled temperature (28° C) in concrete tanks, where malolactic fermentation occurs. The wine is then aged in big oak casks.

tasting notes

Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine with a deep red color.

 

The nose gives off aromas of red fruit and spice. Our Cabernet is full and structured, with hints of blackcurrant and green peppercorn.

We recommend pairing this wine with red meat, game and cheese.
