Vintage notes
The 2024 season began in relatively balanced conditions, with rainfall well above the seasonal average, normal temperatures and favourable temperature variations until mid-July. Strong daytime and nighttime heat followed, but ample water reserves helped the vines withstand the stress. Heavy rain in September and October prolonged ripening and harvesting. Yields were generous, while alcohol and phenolic ripeness remained balanced.
