Sweetness,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The 2011 vintage was two-sided, a duality that persisted until September, when the two sides finally reached a balance.<\/p>\n

Climatically, it was a challenging year. The vines flowered on 31st<\/sup> May. Until the first ten days of August the weather was almost perfect for the vines and the grapes developed well, with a steady accumulation and development of polyphenols.<\/p>\n

This stable phase ended decisively and without warning on 10th<\/sup> August, with a heat-wave that lasted 25 days. These extreme, desert-like conditions affected the vines, damaging parts of the bunches, especially the south-facing ones. We removed the hardest-hit bunches, which allowed the remaining ones to develop better and more sweetly.<\/p>\n

The August heat led us to an important decision: we harvested the vineyards depending on their exposure to the sun.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of September the rain returned, cooling and refreshing the vineyards and restoring balance to the vines, and the harvest began on 27th<\/sup> September to general relief.<\/p>\n

As we do every year, we have tried to find you a memory from long ago. Morando, a thirteenth-century grammatician and teacher in Bologna, best-known for writing Vinum dulce gloriosum,<\/em> wrote:
\n\u201cSe maturo e pien di gusto, \u00e8 piacevole e a noi gradito, giacch\u00e9 acuisce i sensi.
\n<\/em>Ma se acerbo la lingua morde tutte le viscere sconvolge e il corpo corrompe\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cIf it\u2019s full-bodied and tasty, it\u2019s pleasant and we enjoy it, because it sharpens the senses.
\nBut if it\u2019s acidic, it bites the tongue, curls up your insides and rots the body.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
