vintage notesA moderate winter and a hot april anticipate in 15 days the maturation of grapes, than a cooler temperature and rain in may and june moisturize the soil. Summertime was instead hot but not so much, with a perfect temperature excursion between day and night in the first half of september that facilitate a faster maturation and a good sugar stenght of grapes, rich in acidity, colors and parfums, starting the harvest in the late september.

vintage notesThe perfect climate, an excellent vintage in terms of quality and quantity. A rainy spring gives the vines the perfect amount of water to face the summer and its high temperatures without being in stress. Some rainfalls arrived, just in time the end of July and August. In September a good temperature range between day and night, that reached extremely elegant scents. A great vintage to remember.
