Vinification

Vinification: Vinification: only the finest grapes in the best areas, which have been able to give additional strength to the ripening of the grapes, qualify for our Primo Passo. We, family and
friends, take the utmost care during harvest. Merlot grapes are hand selected and only perfect berries of the highest quality are placed in small boxes. These are dried in a cool, well-ventilated room. Through this process we obtain a higher content of sugars, acids and aromas. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The young Primo Passo is aged in selected French barriques for about 2 years.

Drying: 15 days

Maceration: 21 days

Aging: 21 months

Vintage 2019

Greater than average spring rains saturated the soil and provided plenty of water for the growing season. A more rigid spring brought about delayed germination, leading to a slight delay in flowering. Various summer weather disturbances made cultivation more challenging and forced us to pre-select grape clusters to keep on the vines. The warmer temperatures at the end of the summer helped with good fruit development and ripening. A later harvest than in previous vintages and the long drying process of 15 days make this vintage very interesting, giving us a wine of great elegance.
