VINTAGE REPORT
Although the harvest began on September 1, slightly behind schedule compared to recent averages, the fruit came in perfectly sound and healthy, and quality levels were uniformly high, thanks to unremitting attention in the vineyards, over the entire growth period, by the viticultural team. The 2008 spring will be remembered as the rainiest of the last few decades, with temperatures dipping well below average. Rain and wind in June, right during the bloom period, led to less than optimal fruit set; the clusters showed smaller-sized grapes. In July and August, however, generous sunlight and warm
temperatures in Tuscany partially remedied the slow development. The summer months, including September, were sunny and hot, and sufficient reserves of water in the soil helped ensure ideal ripeness levels across all grape varieties, with Sangiovese in the lead. The result of these overall conditions was extremely high-quality grapes that are yielding firmly-structured wines that will be very well-balanced, without any need of technical interventions. Simple, classic vinifications have extracted into the wines velvet-smooth tannins, and these wines, still young, display an appealing vein of good acidity. 2008 will be an outstanding year in particular for Sangiovese: these wines will be rich and intense, with deep colour and sturdy structure, showing generous bouquets with great aromatic range.

PRODUCER'S COMMENTS:
Lamaione 2008 is an elegant wine. It offers an intense violet color. Opening with fruity notes like wild blackberry and blueberry, followed by aromas of clove and black pepper and a delicate hint of eucalyptus to finish with aromas of tar, graphite and liquorice. On the palate the decisive entry denotes a body that is powerful and warm at the same time. The tannin texture is dense and silky. Notable intensity of flavour, long persistent finish.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Slow-cooked dishes such as pot roasts marinated in the same wine, mushroom-enriched stews, or beef fillet. Enjoy it too with medium-aged cheeses.

Vuosikerta 2008

The season was characterized by an autumn and a winter which were not particularly cold and with little rain, conditions which favored a slightly early bud break compared to the preceding vintages. Spring, and the first vegetation, saw the appearance of adverse meteorological conditions, with frequent rainfall until the end of May which caused a slowing of plant growth, a slowing which, nonetheless, did not have harmful effects on vine health. June and July, instead, were warm and dry, while in August there was scattered rainfall which helped the vines to sustain regular growth of both the vegetation and the grapes.

The months of September and October were very favorable for harvest operations, thanks as well to temperature swings from daytime heat to nighttime coolness, optimal conditions for grape quality. Sangiovese was picked during the last ten days of September, while Cabernet continued to be harvested until the middle of October. From the very beginning of the harvest the musts showed very interesting colors and aromas, which indicated that the vintage was of very high level indeed.
