Harvest – Vintage 2010
As always by this time, you will receive our yearly Wineletter, in which we are looking back
on our work, month by month, as a result of precious experience and valuable information
concerning vineyard growing and caring operations; meantime we’ll give you a report on the
fermentation – ageing – refinement and bottling process of our quality wines.
Here in Chianti, we have seen a deeply rainy spring, which led a slow ripening cycle of our
grapes, in particular for Sangiovese, but a sunny and balanced summer has soften this
effect, preserving health of the vines and their fruits. Consequently, our grapes were
faultless and ripe, with good sugar and phenol contents.
The grape harvesting started in middle of September for Merlot and at the end
of September for Sangiovese. It ended in the middle of October with picking of Syrah and
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Harvest in 2010 was completed with a 10% decrease in
production
This year’s harvest will allow us to produce each and all of our quality wines with good
structures, colours and aromas (scents), able to provoke you great emotions.
Great wines are the most spontaneous, instinctive and authentic. Those that tell you about
their origin, their belonging to a land, to a history. Wine is alive as each of us.
It’s born, grows and reaches ageing and maturity.
And in that moment has a fantastic taste…..

What the Press says about us
LUCA MARONI - Guida dei Vini Italiani 2011
Really high the organoleptic average in Trecciano Estate Glass. Here the powerful
winemaking hand does not misfire a shot, greatly respecting the cleanness and the fruit
fullness. Long minty and enveloping is the Chianti Colli Senesi Terra Rossa Riserva 2007,
warmly pulping the Daniello 2007. A tasting wine is the Suavis locus Ille 2008, really close to
be a great wine. Power, majesty and long lasting, with a brilliant defined dress: fabulous
black cherry and blackberry aromas and coloured.
