The 2018 vintage in Tuscany commenced with a relatively cool spring. Summer saw average temperatures with an increased level of precipitation which ensured that there was little stress to the vines. Maturation was slightly delayed and the relatively humid conditions during the summer required a lot of work in the vineyards to preserve the healthiness of the grapes. Conditions in September and October were beautiful. The plots that were able to benefit from the extra ripening time produced fruit that displayed impressive structure and elegance while preserving acidity and therefore balance.
