Normal weather with a rather cool spring followed by a sunny and dry summer. This year marked the beginning of the consultancy of Riccardo Cotarella and an increase of Merlot in the blend, which was 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Alicante. The wine has an intense, bright and concentrated garnet color while the aroma has a lot of spice with notes of blood orange, raspberry, black cherry and vanilla. The mouthfeel has excellent body nicely upheld by the acidity, while the tannins have too many extracts and the finish is a tad bitter.
Bottles produced: 20,000.
