Growing Season
Mild and rainy winter followed by a warm and dry spring. Summer has also been hot, with temperatures above the average, and characterized by an almost complete lack of water. However, despite the challenges of the first half of the
year, the vines were able to regulate their growth cycle and adapt to the heat. The end of August brought some rain showers that lowered down the temperatures allowing the grapes to start the veraison, while the perfect climate conditions in September were crucial for an optimal ripening of the grapes and thus, securing a high-quality harvest.
