The growing season began quite early, aided by the mild and rainy conditions in the first part of the year, which ensured an excellent water supply for the vineyards. Even in the following months, abundant rainfall continued to support plant development, although it made vineyard management particularly demanding and required great care. Starting at the end of June, the arrival of warm, sunny days created ideal conditions for a quality harvest. The vines gradually slowed their growth, showing reduced vigour at just the right time: during véraison at the end of July, a crucial phase for concentration and aromatic development. This hot and dry period was interrupted in mid-August by some localized storms, which brought variable rainfall across different vineyards, allowing the grapes to complete their ripening in optimal conditions. From early September onwards, an alternation of sunny, cool and occasionally rainy days accompanied the harvest through to its conclusion, naturally balancing the concentration of the berries without compromising their health.
