Location |
North-east of Verona, on the hill that separates Montorio from Valle d’Illasi. |
气候 |
Very particular vintage, the Springtime and the beginning of summer were quite cold and the grapes maturation was delayed till July, when in a couple of weeks there were very high temperatures, almost a record. But after this, the season followed up with temperatures and humidity really lower than usual and this let the grapes develop a thicker skin and great acidities. This is the reason why, the several rains during the harvest didn’t compromise too much the general quality. |
