Fruity and floral aromas dominate the nose, notes of black cherries and violets are well-balanced with hints of cocoa and coffee. The palate is mouth filling, supple with a fruity aftertaste. A pleasantly easy to drink wine [Notes2] => This Cortona estate dates back to very ancient times with the town being one of the most influential Etruscan settlements of its time and that dominated the fertile Chiana valley. From its altitude of 585 meters above sea level, Cortona`s geological origins can essentially be ascribed to the early Miocene, the late Pliocene, and the Miocene eras. The territory is complex with sandstone, shale, and marl and deposits of clay, and scree. There is some limestone too which offers excellent balance with respect to its varying make-up of clay, silt, and coarse and fine sand. [Notes3] => [Notes4] => The 2016 vintage was characterized by a mild spring season with abundant rainfall. These climatic conditions caused a 10-15 day delay in the bud break and successive flowering compared to the previous vintage. The summer months, warm and dry on the whole, assisted in bringing the growing season back into balance, and the important temperature swings from daytime heat to evening and nighttime coolness favored an excellent beginning of the ripening process. The picking began with the Merlot grapes during the first days of September and then continued with Syrah, Sangiovese, and Cabernet. [MediaNotes] => [ServingSuggestion] => [WineMakingNotes] => CLIMATE A relatively dry beginning of spring was followed by a rainy second half with cooler temperatures that slowed down vine growth by about two weeks compared to seasonal averages. Summer was hot with rain showers that were well distributed throughout the season. At harvest time, the grapes had an excellent balance between sugar levels and acidity and great aromatic potential due to significant temperature fluctuations between day and night during the final weeks of ripening FERMENTATION AND AGING Each grape variety was fermented separately. After the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed, maceration on the skins took place in stainless steel vats over a period of approximately one week. During this phase, the wine completed alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature that did not exceed 25°C (77 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed by fall and the wine was aged for about 4 months. The wine was bottled as of May 2022.
