Il Pareto, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, was born in the 1980s as a Supertuscan
project and, already starting from the first vintage, it represents strength, power and sensory purity.
This wine is part of a new vision of oenology, where we move from the study of native vines to the
study of the suitability of the territory. It is not the vine that has adapted to the territory, therefore, but
rather the discovery that the territory has the suitability for a limited production of grapes but
characterised by a very high sensory complexity, where the typical characteristics of the grapes are
maintained, enriching them with nuances and structure, body and elegance.
Vintage: 2019 started with a rather regular winter both in terms of temperatures and rainfall; despite these
weather conditions, the vineyards began budding one week earlier than the historical average registered in the
area. The spring period, May in particular, was characterised by frequent rains and temperatures slightly lower
than usual, while the months of June and July were dry and quite hot, without however ever showing extreme
conditions. Some rain in August and a dry and windy period in September and October allowed the grapes to
ripen perfectly, thus guaranteeing a good sugar content and an excellent polyphenolic concentration.
