| Climate | Altitude: 250 m. a.s.l. Exposure: South-West. The harvest was immediately 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 (i.e. sparse) and therefore healthier bunches. In July, temperatures were high, while August was cool, with moderate rainfall: a varied temperature regime that guarantees very interesting aromatic characteristics, rich in intensity and complex. |
