Vintages
Duca Enrico 1985, tasted after more than 25 years, shows rich and powerful. An exceptional vintage that, almost three decades later, still makes a remarkable floral impact on the palate, supported by sweet notes of cherries in alcohol and a liquorice finish. The olfactory complexity and intense garnet color confirm the feeling of a wine destined for longevity.

Details
Vintage
An excellent year marked by heavy rainfall in the spring, which delayed the vegetative cycle of the vine; the intense summer heat helped the vines to recover well, and the grapes were able to ripen even earlier than usual.
Harvest
By hand when fully ripe, from 18 to 21 September.
Vinification and Ageing
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (28°C). After racking, the wine obtained undergoes malolactic fermentation.
Maturation of 18 months in fine oak casks in which it develops its complexity, style and ageability.
Refinement from May 1988 in the bottle at controlled temperature.
