A.S.L. VINTAGE 2020 VINIFICATION In temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation maceration on the skins for 10–15 days. AGING 12 months of aging in large European oak barrels. BOTTLE SIZE 0.750 L / 1.5 L PACKAGING Cases of 6 bottles (0.750 L) and a case of a single magnum bottle (1.5 L) VINTAGE 2020 was characterized by scarce rainfall in the early winter months. The vines began to bud in late 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 pattern ensued, favored by ideal weather characterized by warm, dry, and slightly windy days. As a result, excellent fruit set was noted, leading to good bunch structure. The scarce rainfall led to 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 yield, but still excellent quality.
