Harvest Note
Great Spring temperatures encouraged a harmonious and balanced budding, resulting in precise pruning. Temperatures began to rise in early May, projecting the vineyards into a summer climate, which found relief in the water resources of the soils and in the winds that cool the vineyards. The harvest began slightly early at the end of August without any particular early ripening. The grapes represent the varietal and territorial characteristics very well.
