Nipozzano Vecchie Viti

The 2023 vintage developed under intense and contrasting conditions, which marked the rhythm of the vines with almost narrative precision. Overall, the winter was very mild, interrupted only by a few truly cold but incisive weeks, which allowed the vines to enjoy a proper vegetative rest. The abundant rain early in the year enabled the soil to retain a large amount of water, creating a strong foundation for the new season. The rainy trend continued into spring, particularly between May and mid-June, accompanied by below-average temperatures. With the arrival of summer, the month of July brought a decisive change of pace: very high and prolonged temperatures tested the vines, which were able to weather the conditions thanks to the water reserves accumulated in the previous months. The first signs of water stress were quickly mitigated by a drop in temperatures starting at the end of July, re-establishing more favourable conditions for continued ripening. The 2023 vintage is therefore brimming with character, having transformed the climatic complexity into eloquence and elegance. Sunny yet balanced and profound yet harmonious, the wines accurately and authentically convey the identity of the Nipozzano area.

Wine Variety: Sangiovese and traditional complementary varieties

Maturation: 24 months in barrels

Alcohol content: 13%

Vinification and ageing: The Sangiovese grapes and traditional complementary varieties were transferred to the cellar immediately after harvesting. Here, once destemmed, the spontaneous fermentation process took place in concrete tanks, after which the wine remained in the vats to complete maceration. Its journey continued in wooden barrels, where the wine remained to mature for the necessary time. The subsequent period in the bottle enabled a greater balance between all the components, making it possible to fully appreciate its essence once the bottle was opened.
