100 points James Suckling: "Unique aromas of flowers such as violets, stones and roses as well as dark fruits. Incredibly vivid. Full-bodied, yet subtle and refined. Amazing beauty. Better in 2017 but so gorgeous now. Incredible complexity and character. From biodynamically grown grapes."

Weather
A perfect year in San Polino. Following a relatively wet winter, a cooler than usual spring delayed the onset of growth in the fields. Spring was followed by a beautiful summer, with scattered rainfalls and no temperature extremes. Significant temperature swings between night and day in late summer, favoured acidity and polyphenol development. A near constant breeze ensured grape health, and we bagan harvesting at the beginning of October, in great weather, the grapes having achieved an overall perfect maturation.
