HARVEST: 2020 was characterized by scant rainfall in the early
winter months. The vines began to bud at the end of March
in the midst of cold days with temperatures sometimes
below freezing, which caused cold damage
in the valley floors and on the earliest varieties. A
regular growth followed, favored by ideal weather
characterized by warm, dry, and slightly windy days. As a
consequence, excellent fruit set was noted,
leading to good bunch structure. The scant
rainfall led to signs of
water stress due to the dry climate and still
very high temperatures. The harvest of the early white
varieties began in the second half of August. A
good year with a lower production, but still of excellent
quality.

The acidic backbone ensures longevity and balance.
