A winegrowing legend since Roman times, Ausone is a study in finesse: every detail is refined, yet the wine never gives in to ostentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #3b3c39;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #3b3c39; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eFrom the vineyard to the underground quarries, every gesture is precise and measured.

A series of micro-adjustments made in response to these conditions sharpened the definition of the vintage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #3b3c39; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #3b3c39; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThe late June heatwave—exceptionally early in the cycle—proved to be a defining signature of this vintage. For the first time since 1994, every vat was assembled into a single grand vin: the most complete expression yet of Ausone’s limestone terroir, a vintage that demanded nothing be left out. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #3b3c39; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #3b3c39; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #3b3c39; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #3b3c39; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThe colour is striking, deep purple.
