vintage notesAfter a relatively mild and little rainy winter climate, May showed an important drop in temperatures with abundant rainfall: if on the one hand the vegetative cycle of the vine has slowed down, on the other the rains rebalanced the soil. A hot and dry summer, with no hot peaks, re-established the times and preserve the leaves, intact and efficient, thanks to water reserves as well. A mild September with high temperature excursions between day and night, was fundamental for a slow and homogeneous maturation of the grapes. The harvest postponed to beginning of October, was perfect in terms of quality and quantity.
