Natural Cork

The first vintage to introduce tonneaux instead of botti grandi, marked with a change from the old brown label. An exceptionally warm summer moved the picking date forward by 15 days. Both Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested before the end of September, avoiding two weeks of rainfall at the beginning of October. This 1998 still has a ruby colour with an amazing oxidative style full of nuance, from curry to dried prunes, cigar box, leather, mushrooms and carob. On the palate there is also a slight bell pepper character, with a cinchona finish. Dense, fresh and more moderate in alcohol, it shows firmness with a slightly green finish.
