Harvest report

At Tenuta San Leonardo, as in the rest of Italy, the 2003 growing year saw little rain and above all very high temperatures. We need only mention that the average temperatures in June, July and August remained above 24 °C, which together with the lack of precipitation led to early ripening of the fruit. In consequence, picking began a few days earlier than usual on 21 September and continued smoothly to its conclusion on 12 October.
