It was a very challenging year, with cool temperatures and a great number of rainy days. Therefore, the vineyard work was aimed at protecting the vines and grapes from diseases: attentive and ongoing canopy management, careful green harvesting and exploiting the hours of sunlight and heat, this year’s “missing ingredients”, as efficiently as possible. Therefore, vineyard management operations, which usually end in mid-July, extended through the whole month of August. As far as the whites were concerned, because of the rainy and cool August weather, we did not reach optimal grape maturity (sugar and acid concentrations) and we had to harvest ahead of schedule to protect the grapes’ sanitary state. Instead, harvesting of the red grapes was postponed in order to achieve the best ripeness possible. Despite the difficult year, we were fully satisfied with the results.
