Climate
The 2020 growing season did not present any particular problems or critical situations and was defined by mild temperatures and limited precipitation. The first half of spring was relatively dry and sunny resulting in early and even vine development. During the months of May and June, generous rainfall slowed down vegetative development offsetting initial growth, but provided excellent groundwater reserves. These climatic conditions, together with moderate summer temperatures, prevented the risk of water stress in the vineyards. Regular cluster thinning was performed to regulate yields per vine and to favor perfect berry development. Favorable weather in the month of September, with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, brought the grapes to optimal ripeness with perfectly healthy berries. The grape harvest took place during the first two weeks of September.
Harvest and Vinification
Hand harvested grapes were gently crushed before being pressed. The must was left in the press for a brief period to extract aromas. The free run wine was transferred into stainless steel vats where alcoholic fermentation took place until the wine reached 5% alcohol content and then fermentationwashaltedbysharplyreducingthetemperature.
