2015 VINTAGE |
This is a year of great vitality in the vines, fertilized by a rainy winter, followed by a lot of heat during the summer. The long period of rain during the first days of October weakened the skins, a malignant cloud hung and dripped moisture for weeks. Dew shone on the grapes every morning. The rain brought mold and other problems, so to keep the grapes healthy we went back to the vines after thinning to clean the grapes, bunch by bunch, grain by grain.
