Merk: Vini d'annata

Grape blend: 85 % Cabernet Sauvignon 15 % Cabernet Franc

Climate: The climate in 1990 was rather odd. The winter was mild and dry, while the summer was very hot and ventilated. The grapes were perfectly ripe with a noticeable thick skin rich in poliphenolic substances and glucose which gave the must a character of singular taste and colour. The tannin concentration at harvest time was exuberant and the must was rich in extractive substances with very good acidity.

Harvest: The quantity of grapes, that matured early, was 20% less than the previous year.

Wine making: The vinification lasted two weeks since the extraction was abundant due to the richness of the skins. The alcoholic fermentation took place at 28° - 30° C.

Ageing: The wine was transferred in barriques at the end of november where it stayed for 10% longer than other vintages. Bottling only happened after a delicate fining was carried out.
