The vintage 2019: The 2019 harvest reminds the great vintages of the 1980s: a 'classic' vintage, characterized by an exceptional combined action between man and nature. In winter temperatures were below average, with scarce rains; the end of February was unusually warm, while the whole spring, up to late summer, was characterized by thunderstorm showers that made it possible to recover the water deficit caused by the winter trend, albeit slowing down the initial phenological phases. The summer continued hot but regular. September was characterized by good weather and large temperature variations.At the harvest the load of the vines was adequate and the good conditions of the canopy demonstrated the great balance achieved by the plants in this great vintage. Grapes were perfect thanks to both climatic conditions and the thininng of the leafs at the beginning of September, which allowed us to wait for the optimal ripeness.
