Vintage notes

In Piedmont, the winter of 2018 was long, cold and snowy, followed by severe spring frosts. Heavy rainfall in May and June brought relief after the severe droughts of previous years. Some areas experienced hail, while disease presented another major challenge. Despite these difficulties, conditions were generally favourable: warm days and cool nights created good conditions during the harvest.
