Vintage

Flowering began during the first week of June, but atmospheric instability continued with significant rainfall and frequent storms. Despite all this, the quality of the setting must be highlighted. The vineyard was treated as a wholein organic despite the high pressure of fungal diseases. The warm conditions of July allowed us to recover part of the delay in spring. The water reserves in the soil helped the vineyards to withstand a certain summer drought.A few days before the start of the harvest, the rains that occurred put a note of suspense on this harvest, conditioning the strategy for its start and completion. The end of the campaign brought a dry and hot month of October during the day and cool temperatures at night favorable to the taste of the grapes and their aromatic expression.
