Rain in June assisted overall vine development, while a lack of rain through July and mid-August proved positive for a consistent veraison. Finally, a heavy rain on 17 August pushed phenolic ripeness to just the desired levels. The 2020 wines are full-volumed, elegant, and well-balanced. Overall quality was excellent, and crop levels were off by -20%.

About this wine
Description & facts
The Mimesi project was born in Tenuta di Ghizzano after a long period of research and experimentation and aims to give life to increasingly identity wines capable of faithfully translating nature, its perfection and its balance. Mimesi wants to show, starting from native grapes from long-lived vineyards, an authentic expression without superstructures, but with the finesse and elegance typical of great wines. Hence the choice of using the Drunk Turtle cocciopesto amphorae for the Sangiovese and the Tava terracotta amphorae for the Vermentino for aging, which guarantee the micro-oxygenation necessary to mature the wine by amplifying the aromas and bringing a real portrait of the territory.
