Merk: Vini d'annata

Grape blend: 85 % Cabernet Sauvignon 15 % Cabernet Franc

Climate: Weather conditions for the 2002 vintage varied greatly; during the spring, the climate remained within seasonal norms, while during the months of June and July, precipitation was above the seasonal average. The weather remained sunny from the
first days of September for the entire period of the harvest, thus favoring the grapes' complete ripening.

Harvest: At harvest time, thanks to very useful winds and sunshine in the Bolgheri coastal zone, the grapes were healthy and in good quantity. So the harvesting, that begun on the 9th of September, was generally satisfactory and took place almost without
interruptions.

Wine making: The primary fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at a temperature of 30° - 31° C. The maceration of the skins lasted 15 days for both the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Cabernet Franc, with a combination of pumping over and délestage. The malolactic or secondary fermentation also took place in the steel vats.

Ageing: The wine is aged for 24 months in French oak barriques and a few more months in the bottle before being released on the market.
