Sasso di Fata 2022

• A 3.5-hectare, clos-style single vineyard over flaky, gold-colored schist.
• A thin 15 cm clay-rich topsoil is filled with rock fragments and flakes.
• Certified organic and practicing biodynamic.
• Very low yields: approximately 20-35 hL/ha.

• Drought from April through late July challenged the 2022 growing season.
• Deep-rooting vines maintained healthy development through the heat.
• Rain on July 27 and August 15 relieved water stress.
• Cooler, lighter extraction followed by second-use French oak tonneaux.

The vineyard consistently expresses three dimensions: floral perfume, mineral-saline energy and a graphite signature, with tannins that feel broad and velvety at the front of the palate.

Expressive ripe rose leads the nose. The palate remains dynamic and elegant, opening toward graphite and savory tones that reflect the schist. Fine tannins sit at the front of the mouth with a broad, soft and non-drying feel.

• Small single vineyard with a distinctive golden-schist subsoil.
• Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in equal proportion.
• Low yields and gentle extraction favor perfume, salinity and finesse.
