1999
The 1999 harvest was extremely favorable in all of Tuscany and particularly in Montalcino. Sunshine in July encouraged early ripening of the grapes, and the sparse rains in August helped the vines to complete their vegetative cycle. September and October were sunny and warm, allowing the grapes an ideal maturation. The wines resulting from this vintage are delicate, but at the same time with enormous weight and a structure well suited to aging, with velvety tannins and low acidity.
Tasting Notes:
This powerful vintage with a deep ruby color offers ripe, dark fruit aromas of prunes and blackberries with nuances of tobacco, leather, cinnamon and cloves. On the palate, well integrated tannins support the vibrant flavors and give a silky texture.
Varietal Composition: 50% Sangiovese, 50% Merlot
