 CLIMATIC TREND
 The spring rains allowed the vines to draw on good reserves of water and
 mineral nutrients during the warmer months. In addition, temperatures
 dropped considerably at night, with an important temperature range that
 allowed for regular phenolic development. The bunches brought to the cellar
 maintained perfect integrity so as to express the great character of the grape
 variety.

 Poggione vineyard in the last ten days of August.
