Gracciano della Seta's oenologist since 1995, Giuseppe Rigoli approached 2017 with a gentler extraction than usual. He reduced maceration time from 25 days to 10-12 and lowered  fermentation temperatures to 24-25C from their usual 28C. It reveals some roasted, toasty aromas at the outset eventually making way for strawberry and cherry. Lighter in frame, the palate is bright and elegant. While it may not have the depth or complexity of previous vintages, it will provide abundant drinking pleasure over the next 3 years or so.
