14 October is for us the last day of harvest... a
year of waiting, suffering, fearing comes to an end...
but it is also a year of satisfactions… and there we are,
in our 40-year-old vineyards, waiting for the “right year”
to come… the 14 October year... when everything
has already ended… we pick the last grapes, the ripest
ones... and even more... with our fog, pale sun...
as in the past we let time decide whether this is the
“right year”. 14 October is considered one of the
few wines to be served chilled, thanks to the Croatina
grape, to the picking techniques and to the time the
grape spend in the vine to shrivel.
Simply... Chilled
