Vintage Notes:

Vintage notes: Podere San Cristoforo faced extreme drought this year but our vines well react producing few healthy grapes, characterised by; thick skins rich in color and aromas. Our vineyards are fortunate to dwell on; an ancient river bed and their roots can grow into deep, draining soils that provide enough water to perfectly ripen its fruits. After the heat wave experienced at the end of August, we had cool temperatures during all of September with strong night and day thermal hikes. The wines from the 2017 vintage – the most scarce and precocious of the last decade – are showing finesse and vibrant acidity.
