Winemaking Notes
The 2019 vintage saw warm and humid conditions throughout the summer resulting in the need for extra care and investment measures in the vineyard. Harvest was later than usual, but the fruit was healthy, flavourful and ripe! The Appassimento portion of this is 37% after 56 days of drying. The wine was aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels.
