A mild and wet spring followed by a hot and dry summer. The grapes had thick skins rich in polyphenols that gave the wine great structure. This was the first year when enologist Luca D’Attoma was fully in charge. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot (replacing Syrah for the first time) that has an intense and very concentrated ruby color. The ethereal aroma has spice and nicely and clearly expressed fruit, while in the mouthfeel the tannins are a little too evident but it is saline and warm, although a bit hard with a long persistence.
