A very snowy winter and a rainy early spring ensured an optimum soil water supply.
A summer with periods of hot/cool alternation, heat peaks in the second half of August and almost no rain, followed by a dry and pleasantly warm September favoured full ripening of grapes with malic acid contents below the average.
Grape harvest date
FROM 30 SEPTEMBER TO 11 OCTOBER
The aromas are intense, broad and persistent with wilted rose scents; in the mouth, a very good structure is accompanied by a perfect balance, ensuring a wine with a long life.
In April, several rainy days and mild temperatures favoured the appearance of slight symptoms of downy mildew, well checked by a dry and ventilated May and a very meticulous anagement of the foliage. The phenological development of vines was late in starting, though it immediately ecovered compared
to the average of the last years, with a significant advance of the harvesting date. A characteristic of the year was a very irregular ripening of grapes, caused more by the microclimate features rather than the variety ones. As for nebbiolo, we can certainly say that the vintage will be suitable for ageing.
Wine growers able to well interpret the year with targeted interventions at appropriate times obtained a good yield with an excellent product.
