2017 harvest

Limited rain and sirocco marked the season, but Vittoria received cooler north-westerly air that protected the valley from severe dehydration. The vines maintained good vigour, and balanced temperatures permitted skin and phenolic maturity by late September. The resulting wines averaged about 12.5% alcohol and retained freshness. With production approximately 15% below the previous year, the estate concentrated on SP68 Bianco, SP68 Rosso, Il Frappato, Siccagno and the Pettineo, Fossa di Lupo and Bombolieri contrade; Grotte Alte was not produced.
