Growing Season

The 2023 was a particular year that required a great agronomic commitment in the management of the vineyard. Spring was cold in the first days of mid-March and early April, and quite rainy. The combination of continuous humidity and typical spring temperatures favored a good flowering and fruit set, but also let to the onset of fungal diseases, affecting the inflorescences first and then the newly formed clusters. From mid-June, the weather shifted towards the typical Chianti summer: lack of rain except for two showers at the end of June and late August, with seasonal average temperatures, reaching peaks of 41°C in mid-August days.
