Oenologist’s notes
In 2009, rainfall was plentiful, maybe even too much so, and temperatures were not too high. When the grapes were harvested (when the balance between technological and phenolic ripening was right), the level of polyphenols was not very high. The Chiassobuio produced tends slightly more to elegance than strength and already shows very delicate tannins and a wide range of aromas that will only get richer over time.

Oenologist’s notes
Here, the year 2008 was rather hot with slightly below average rainfall. Thus at harvesting the grapes were rich in sugars and polyphenols. The wine produced has important body and good potential for lasting thanks also to the high acidity.
