The winter season at Tenuta Sette Ponti recorded temperatures in line with the seasonal average, low and steady with daily rises in the hottest hours. Rainfall was present and moderate, sufficient to restore water reserves in the vineyards. Spring arrived slightly early, dictating the timing of vine planting, with returns of cold weather and minimal rain. Grazed by a late frost that, however, left no significant damage.
