Vintage

One of the earliest harvests in the history of the appellation, started August 30th. Very warm and wet spring, responsible for the great advance of the growing season. Normal summer in terms of temperature and rainfall, which allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and perfectly. Good flowering combined with a lack of fungal and climatic incidents led to a good harvest in terms of quantity and quality. Musts of moderate alcohol content and correct acidity, very aromatic.
