Vintage Notes
Autumn was very rainy and quite cold. Winter was mild and not particularly rainy. Spring therefore continued with average temperatures and scarce rainfall. Summer arrived on time with the solstice starting, as early as June 20th, to record maximum temperatures above 86°F. Finally, the month of October displayed all its typical characteristics: lower temperatures during the night, an alternation of rainy and sunny days, which produced grapes of excellent quality.
