2019 Vintage

A dry and relatively mild winter was followed by a warm spring, particularly in April, which turned into a very cold and rainy May, causing early budburst and uneven flowering. June and July, on the other hand, saw little rainfall. White grapes were harvested after the first week of September, whereas the last red grapes were harvested in the third decade of October. Overall wine quality was good, with excellent results for the maturation of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Beautifully intense ruby red. On the nose, ripe red plums and berries, followed by hints of spices, bitter cocoa and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, warm and fresh at the same time.
