| Origin |
Castel Giocondo, Montalcino - 12 Ha vineyard in Lamaione - Height: 300 m - Aspect South-West |
| Climate |
The harvest immediately proved to be particularly good, thanks to the favourable seasonal trend. The Spring months were characterised by temperate weather, with little rainfall and no thermal stress: this favoured a good phytosanitary condition of the grapes. At the end of May, there was a sudden drop in temperatures that did not cause any damage, but led to a slight slowdown in plant phenology and a higher percentage of unfertilised flowers. This resulted in more sparse and therefore healthier bunches. In July, temperatures were high, while August was cool, with moderate rainfall, a varied temperature regime guaranteeing very interesting aromatic characteristics, rich in intensity and complex. The light Summer rains provided the plants with a good water supply to cope with veraison (the change of colour). The sunny, cool and dry days of September and October were particularly favourable for ensuring that the grapes had all the necessary characteristics to produce wines of high quality and great structure. |
