Seasonal conditions: this year was in certain ways similar to the previous one and also relatively dry (660mm) with very mild temperatures (an average of 13.8°C) but subject to unexpected drops, above all in spring.
A ruby-purple color with a bright edge. The bouquet is elegant and very delicate with whispered notes of ripe and fresh red fruit, a pleasing floral component and a quid of blood orange and caramel. The excellent mouthfeel is rounded and full, flavorful and juicy with gentle and wrapping tannins and a finish with an after-aroma of toasted graphite and caramel. Despite its youth, it is distinguished by the accessibility of the mouthfeel, already elegant and balanced and yet with an interesting propensity to age, further evidence that the estate has found the key understanding Lagrein.
