THE VINTAGE:
The autumn-winter season began with abundant rains in November and moderate snowfall in December, followed by a dry January until early February when a couple of snowfalls fell; all this allowed the formation of an excellent water reserve that proved invaluable in the summer. The rest of February and March were characterized by mild and dry weather, a situation that changed in April and May with abundant rains that rebalanced the vegetation of the vines that showed uneven buds between the high and low parts of the hills. May and June were characterized by a warm and dry climate with temperatures above average, only for a short period. The unusual and abundant rains at the beginning of July allowed for gradual ripening, in line with a very classic vintage, producing minor grapes characterized by excellent quality, which were harvested on September 22nd.”
