Tasting
"2016 represents another immensely successful vintage highlighting all the virtues of Bolgheri's climate: abundant sunshine, without excessive heat, a dry summer to allow the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness and concentration, and just about enough rain to avoid stress. All these elements combine to yield a wine that shows lush ripeness and crisp firmness, opposing forces creating a sense of dense raciness we like to describe as "tension"."
Axel Heinz - Estate Director
