VINTAGE

vintage description

A mild and sunny winter with little rainfall was followed by a dry March, which resulted in relatively early budburst. Spring was cool and rainy, while warm sunny days alternated with rainy days in June. A hot summer, followed by rain at the beginning of September, demanded a lot of effort from our wine growers, which was in turn rewarded with a splendid autumn and ideal harvest conditions. Meticulous work in the vineyard, experience and commitment allowed our wine-growing members to brilliantly overcome the many challenges of this vintage. The white wines of the 2023 vintage are fresh and delicate and convince with their juicy freshness. The red wines, especially the Pinot Noir, are characterised by elegance and finesse.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

  • yield: 55 hl/Hectare
  • altitude: 300 m

Winemaking

Maceration is carried out at a controlled temperature (26 ° C) with continuous pumping to increase the level of extraction from the grape skins. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine ages in a combination of French barriques and large oak casks for a year, followed by 6 months in concrete vats.
