VINTAGE DESCRIPTION

An averagely warm spring with some cool days characterized the beginning of the season (with unfortunately some unexpected frosts) until the beginning of summer determined by storms and very hot days. This sultry and rainy situation lasted throughout the summer, forcing continuous health surveillance interventions in the vineyards. The high rainfall at the beginning of October caused us some concern for the imminent harvest, which then naturally concluded from the second week of October onwards
