CLIMATE AND VINTAGE
Abundant winter and spring rains, alternating with sunny and breezy days, ensured a conspicuous accumulation of water in the ground. This allowed a uniform growth of the grapes in the months of May and June.
The summer period, marked by rather high temperatures, favored the regular development of the grapes and the ripening took place in a gradual and perfect way thanks to the good temperature variations between day and night.
The absence of significant rainfall - both during the ripening period and during the harvest - together with the temperate climate of September, helped to preserve the health of the grapes, allowing at the same time the expression of all their qualitative potential.
