2019 is considered a very good vintage: the summer was warm and dry, with only two episodes
of rain (one in July and one in August). September temperatures remained within the average for
the time of the year and we harvested the white grapes at the beginning of the month.The wines of 2019 are very interesting and of very high quality. Upon tasting, the wines present intense colours, an excellent aromatic expression of the varietal and a very nice freshness.
The word “Martiena” has a strong meaning for the Dei family: it is the name of the road leading to the estate, as well as that of the family villa and that of the vineyard in front of the winery, where white grapes were once grown. This is why today Cantine Dei’s white wine has inherited its name.
TASTING NOTES
