Notes about the 2023 vintage:<\/strong>
\na hot vintage (in line with the last ones), but with a good deal of rainfall in spring. This has ensured the correct development of the growth cycle of the vines. During the year we have recorded remarkable temperature variations between day and night. The harvest, more anticipated than usual, gave us perfectly healthy and quality grapes. The correct timing of the harvest ensured a good aromatic expression and excellent acidity values for all the wines.<\/p>\n
