2010: little big harvest

Is it still a little too early to indulge in an unbridled optimism, but the impression is that 2010 turned out to be a little big harvest.

While the quantities of all the grapes were a fraction of those of last year (thanks mostly to the particular season, but also to a relentless population of roe deers and other cute animals), the quality of the grape was outstanding.

We vinified a (relatively) small amount in pink for our Mustiola (2010), trying to repeat the incredible result of last year. The progress we are making with this wine can only fill us with pride. I am confident that int the early next year we will have some (welcome) surprises.

The red gives us similar high hopes. Although the total amount of product was very poor, the maturation of the Sangiovese seems to an optimal level.

I am looking forward to see what we have in our hands in few months.

Obviously, this situation exposes the vineyards to the peronospora…
