The winter had very scarce snowfalls and was followed by a rainy spring and then a long sunny and windy period.
From mid-August to mid-September, the area was affected by anticyclones that favoured high temperatures and a dry climate, with optimal conditions for harvesting.
Later, the weather conditions became partially unstable, with occasional rains alternating with sunny days.
Grape harvest date
FROM 4 TO 14 OCTOBER
And this is the fourth extraordinary vintage in a row! This vintage will be remembered in particular for the intense and complex aromas of our Barolo wines.
Late-ripening black grape varieties gave excellent results; in particular, Nebbiolo for Barolo achieved perfect ripening, with proper
grape turgidity, high alcoholic strength, intense colour, marked and complex aromas, optimal structure and phenolic richness.
The yield was slightly lower (between 5 and 7% less) than expected, but interesting in any case.
