Transmission from "Radio Vigna" : it’s incredibly hot!!!

The heat arrived a few weeks later but now we are almost nostalgic for all that rain in spring.
Only the vines aren’t complaining. The shoots we trained have spread over the row structures and now we can see luxuriant green espaliers. Thanks to the snows in winter and the rain in recent months, the roots have plenty of moisture.
We hope this favourable combination of high temperatures and cool soil will help the plants make up for the delay in foliage development accumulated over such a long winter.

2009 Vintage

A promise kept, now time will keep its word.
Good weather conditions helped along the vegetation cycle in our vineyards resulting in a good harvest.
The wines immediately appeared very interesting with intense colour, rich aromas, dense tannic texture and considerable structure.
But along with our care, only time will yield really good wines.

DON’T LET ANYONE HEAR BUT – I REALLY THINK THIS IS GOING T BE A GREAT VINTAGE

A harsh winter with rainy spring and summer created the right conditions for a good year. The heat in July and August also played a part.
In early September we picked the Merlot and we are really happy with the excellent grapes we took to the cellar.

AT LAST OUR OWN WEBSITE

At last our winery has its own website. We’ve worked hard on it, taking our distinctive scrupulous care over every detail. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Bruno Bruchi and Nunzio Bellini who took most of the photos on the website.

... our hands move carefully among the green leaves to position the shoots.
Our arms seem to join with other arms: the vineshoots.
And our faces are always looking up to see if it is raining or fine
We suffer so much in bad years, perhaps just as much in good years
Because then it is all down to us... Marco Capitoni
