Evolution of the vintage 2013

Overall, it was a season characterized by a double trend: after an initial fresher and rainy phase we had a second hotter and dry period that allowed strong recoveries achieving highly satisfying results.

Even though the bud burst happened in a period characterized by low temperatures and frequent rainfalls which made us fear a serious quality loss, in June nevertheless, with its blooming overture and its conditions tied to the atmospheric events gradually improved encouraging a good fruit attachment.

 

The true turning point happened in July with a stable time period. Warm and bright days up to October were favorable to the phenol synthesis.

The fresh nights of the last period of maturation have, in addition, helped to develop at best the characteristics that mark the Nebbiolo, thus obtaining grapes of excellent quality.

 

In the end, we can declare that the field management was demanding, but the right choices and make the year 2013 a particularly good year.
