Vineyard with certified organic farming.

The 2023 agricultural year was hot and dry. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn -Winter) there were mild temperatures and higher precipitation values than in 2022, however, in Spring-Summer temperatures were much higher and precipitation was very low. In the vineyard, because of all these factors, there was an advancement in phenology. The harvest was early and concentrated in a few weeks, with the optimal maturation of the various varieties being reached quickly, providing aromatic, intense and highly complex wines.
