The vintage
The 2014 vintage reflects a surprising year for the region. It is characterized by a mild, wet winter, hot, dry spring followed by a temperate and humid summer. This can only be classifed as an atypical year, a year for the winemaker. Work and supervision in the vineyards was mandatory until through to harvest. The slow ripening of the grapes and long macceration of the skins during vinification have resulted in aromatic wines, only to be describded as fresh and fine. The white wines are pretty, fruity and expressive with great minerality.

Reviews
"Light, vivid pink. Strawberry, mint and a suggestion of white pepper on the nose and palate. Light-bodied and dry, with a hint of bitterness emerging on the back half. Shows good energy and bite on the dry-edged nish. Most pink wines at this price point are quite a bit more jammy than this one."
"The wine’s strawberry-cranberry avors will come into balance with a chill and some spicy ‘nduja sausage."
