Growing Season 2020
After a cool spring with a few rainy days in June, a warm summer followed, balanced by additional rainfall in September. The organic soil management contributed to the health of the vines and the excellent ripening of the grapes. A slight decrease in grape yield resulted in wines of excellent quality, with balance and good structure.
Harvest period: September 16th-September 30th
