A word from the cellar manager
Harvest 2006
2006 is a vintage placed under the sign of Heat, except in August when the rain played an hepful role for the berry maturation. Heat balance was really high, indeed. Flowering occurred without any problems at mid-June, harvest took place mid-September, with a lot of differences between the plots that has extended the harvest time span (around three weeks, till the 25th of September).
Wines produced in 2006 are rich and with a moderate acidity.

The wine presents a nice shiny robe with golden reflections. The perlage is fine. In the nose we can find toasted nut aromas, sign of an aromatic maturity, intricated with white flowers fragrances. The attack is fine and precise, leading to an elegant wine structure.
