CULTURE 2018

The dedicated work of our viticultural team, together with the remarkable resilience of our vineyards, helped us overcome not only the early frosts but also the extreme weather anomalies of spring. The vines, however, showed an unprecedented eagerness to ripen. We began the harvest in mid-August, starting with the early-ripening varieties. The long, dry, Mediterranean-like weather, with little rainfall, did not favour the dynamic development of botrytised grapes. Nevertheless, through careful and selective harvesting, our viticultural team made the most of the opportunities presented by the vintage.
