The wine
Made from young Pink Muscat grapes raisined on the vine and harvested from the fields of La Gatta Estate in Bianzone, Il Vino del Presidente is our red wine that pays tribute to the former president of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and his wife Franca, commemorating his institutional visit to the Estate in 2003.
| Tasting Notes | Intense red in colour, a freshly floral wine with strong rose petal notes, inebriating on the nose; a fruity, pleasant and harmonious flavour |

Serving suggestions
Ideal served with fine patisserie and chocolate

The vintage
Despite a lot of rainfall during the winter and even in the spring, the forecast for a good harvest was still very good at the end of August. But very hot and humid weather in the first two weeks of September got in the way and forced us into an early harvest. The crop volume is about 15 percent lower than last year. The loss is probably mostly due to animals that ate a lot of shoots. However, the young wines make us feel confident; they are very fragrant, fresh and crisp. They may not have a very long shelf life, but they will be very balanced.
Terrain Composition
Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
