Vintage details

Balanced climate & a Healthy vineyard Tempered and dry winter, April brought the vineyard enough water for the complete cycle of the vines. Bud break occurred at the end of March, and flowering in early June. Veraison started in August. Grape ripening happened slowly and well balanced, free from any disorder, thanks to high diurnal range. Warmer than average September led to bring forward harvest to late September and early October.
