The 2017 vintage proved extremely hot and dry throughout all the development stages of the vine. From budbreak to harvest, the temperature values were always higher than average and lower rainfall was recorded compared to average data from the ten-year time series.

According to our winery practice, and especially this year, careful agronomic management of the vineyards and rigorous grape selection enabled us to obtain high-quality Sangiovese with a perfect degree of ripening. The graph below shows details of the daily maximum/minimum temperatures and rainfall between 1st October 2016 and 1st October 2017.
