VITICULTURE / HARVEST
2019 was announced as a classic vintage year. The rain in springtime ensured significant supplies of water, adequate to face a moderately hot summer with little rainfall. The first half of the year was cooler and drier than average, creating a slight delay in the vines’ growing cycle (compared to previous years). In general 2019 shows many similarities with the great 1980s vintages. The summer temperatures were at a steady high level, without peaks or heavy rain. Approaching harvest, the grapes were blessed with good weather all through September, with considerable night-day temperature variation. The result were grapes with nearly perfect phenolic ripeness.
