Storyteller

It was a long, hot and busy day: we bottled and packed more than 17,000 bottles - a record for our small company - between our own wines and those on consignment for other companies. Bottling is the last stage in the wine production process and is a very delicate moment, in which nothing must be left to chance, as months (and sometimes years) of waiting and work could be wasted by a simple lack or carelessness. We have, therefore, chosen to entrust ourselves to a specialist: with a lorry, he comes to us and provides us with a futuristic and complete bottling plant, all under our strict control and instruction. All that is left for us to do is to provide glass, caps, capsules, labels, personnel and... roll up our sleeves. Specifically in this round we bottled the NEPOMUCENE 2011 which will be the first to be released after the 2009 vintage, presumably next spring. As already anticipated on several occasions, the 2010 “Nepo” will not be bottled, due to a vintage that we considered not up to par for a wine of this importance. We also bottled the RINE’ 2014, of which, with great effort, we managed to increase production a little. In particular, we like the 2014 for its great freshness and aromatic finesse, certainly the result of a particularly cold vintage.
