About the 2013 vintage:: In the last month before the harvest started we had great day-night
temperature excursions and this allowed the grapes to keep a
brilliant acidity and perfect perfumes.
Quantities were excellent as well. We are back to the 2010
quantity level after the last two years with lower yields, due to
climatic conditions.
We foresee an elegant wine, with a good level of alcohol very
interesting acidity and intense nose.
In general we expect the2013 vintage to mirror the 2010, 2007,
2006 and 2004 vintages.
