Vintage Notes:
The 2016 vintage is the perfect balance among elegance, opulence, structure and complexity. Winter was warmer than average with some rain in February while budding was regular during the first week of April. Flowering took place on the last week of May with sunnier days, following a mild summer with sporadic rainfall. Ripening process was slowly but consistent, also thanks to the big range between day and night temperatures right before harvest.
Grape Varietals:
100% Sangiovese
Tasting Notes:
Balance and youth. Usual very young ruby red. Great balance at the nose among small red fruits and spices followed by hints of chocolate. The greatness of the vintage comes out immediately at the first sip: amazing balance among all the components with perfectly ripe tannins and bright acidity. Everything is standing for a great immediate pleasure providing at the same time a great aging potential.
96 Points - The Wine Independent, June 2023.
96 Points - Falstaff, March 2021. "Clear intense ruby with fine garnet shimmer. Very clear and precise nose, smells of ripe, whole plums, tobacco and cardamom in the background. Clear and vivid on the palate, opens with lots of grippy tannin in several layers, juicy fruit, all embedded in fine texture, rich drive on the finish."
95 Points - WinesCritic.com, Raffaele Vecchione, November 2020. "Precise and sartorial, enchanting in the fresh notes of redcurrants, raspberries, red prunes, powdered cinnamon and juniper berries. In the background the essence of the terroir manifests itself with must of pressed grapes that gives fragrance and character. Medium to full bodied, tannins of a tannic texture, refined and velvety which caress the palate and a medium-long finale which closes with a bewitching sweetness. Better from 2021.

91 Points - Cellar Tracker
18/20 Points - Vinum Wine Magazine, January 2022. "A clever bouquet of wild berries, spices and tobacco, gently caressed by notes of cocoa; precise structure with polished tannins and lively acidity, but also plenty of power and fullness behind it, finishes long. As in every vintage, reliable."
