Dear Friends and Associates,
Here we are, another year has passed, full of satisfaction of the quality of our wines. We thank you for the continued support you have given us during 2019 and for the start of new collaborations, may they last over time.
The 2019 harvest proved to be very positive: the spring rains and the moderate temperatures allowed the length of the maturation to be extended, therefore more homogeneous. The alcohol percentage obtained was slightly higher than previous years, and we had a good increase in production, partly due to the passage of some vines to the Guiot system and the weather conditions.
Despite the rainy autumn, the vineyard is ready for the new season and we transferred even more vines to the Guiot training system.
After the great success and the curiosity aroused in years past, we produced Suley 2019, a white wine obtained from the white vinification of Sangiovese grapes, with the addition of small quantities of Vermentino and Chardonnay, vines now traditional in Maremma. Once again Suley is a highly structured white, with the typical characteristics of Sangiovese, mitigated by the freshness and aroma of traditional white grapes.
Based on the success of the last two vintages, we have increased the production of Pasha 2019, a white obtained from grapes Chardonnay and Vermentino.
Later this year, Caletra 2017 and Sangiovese 2018 will be ready. These two wines have given us great satisfaction by achieving excellent scores by important international guides and journalists.
Below you will find information on the wines that will go on sale in the coming months.
I renew my invitation to meet you personally, both in the winery and at the upcoming fair, to taste together the vintages that will come out in 2020 and to experience firsthand La Chimera d’Albegna.
We look forward to seeing you.
Warmest Regards,
The Chimera d’Albegna Staff
