Vintage 2020
The bright sun of the Tuscan Coast!

Winter temperatures were mild, with a fresh early spring followed by an April and May with either maximum or minimum above-average temperatures. After copious rainfall in the first week of June, summer continued with no precipitation but cool nights and average maximum temperatures. A clear and bright sky marked the Summer season until the end of August, when a significant rain gave the plants a new vitality and allowed the grapes to ripe correctly. The 2020 vintage grapes show high quality, gentle and well-ripened tannins in all parcels.
