Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Poggio Landi’s estate vineyards, planted at 300–500 m on south- and southwest-facing slopes with clay and marl soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified traditionally at the winery. Spontaneous fermentation lasts about two weeks.

Ageing

The wine matures for 38 months in 30- and 54-hl French oak barrels, followed by at least six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Elegant.

Vintage notes

The winter preceding the 2016 growing season was mild, with heavy rain in February. Budbreak occurred in the first week of April, followed by flowering in the last week of May under sunny conditions favourable to fruit set. The summer remained generally mild, with no extreme heat and some light rain. Ripening was slow and even, aided by pronounced day-to-night temperature differences before harvest. Harvest began in late September in mild weather with similarly marked temperature changes, and the grapes reached optimal ripeness.

The 2016 vintage placed 12th in Wine Spectator’s 2021 Top 100.
