Product details
The 2016 vintage is characterized by mild winter and spring with higher-than-average minimum temperatures. This led to a slight advance in budding and a beautiful vegetative expression of the vines. The summer was cool and mild, slowing down the ripening, which continued slowly and very well. Ripe tannins, richness in color, and good acidity have therefore characterized the Sangiovese of this excellent vintage. The harvest began slightly earlier and ended however around mid-October, as often happens in great vintages. There is an excellent balance in the aging of Sangiovese; this should lead to rich but also very elegant wines.
