Vintage 2013
Italy’s 2013 wine vintage is widely celebrated as a landmark, classic vintage, especially in Northern and Central Italy. After the hot, quick-ripening 2011 and 2012 seasons, 2013 brought a welcome return to a cooler, traditional European climate. A late spring and long, mild summer allowed grapes to ripen slowly, leading to exceptional aromatic complexity, vibrant acidity, and firm, age-worthy tannins.
