The 2015 vintage was one to remember, thanks to its favourable weather conditions. The mild and rainy winter brought temperatures below freezing, while spring was characterized by sunny and dry days, allowing for regular budbreak. Summer was warm, especially in July, which is now remembered as one of the hottest months of the last century. August, thanks to three abundant rainfalls and a drop in temperatures, allowed the vines to recover physiologically and the grapes to continue ripening regularly. The cool temperatures during September and October allowed for progressive and even ripening up to harvest. These climatic conditions, together with careful vineyard management, made it possible to obtain perfectly healthy grapes, with excellent aromatic quality and phenolic ripeness. The Merlot harvest took place during the first half of September, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante Bouschet and the earliest parcels of Sangiovese during the second half of September. In the first days of October, the last parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot were harvested.

The 2016 vintage produced around 120,000 bottles
