A year full of paradoxes for winemaking, 2012 gave birth to a great vintage, surmounting multiple challenges.
A series of climate events descended upon the vineyards: frost in the winter and spring, torrential rains, hailstorms and cold spells while the vines were flowering, plus intense heat waves over the summer.
A warm and dry climate alleviated any concerns as to the health of grapes, favoring the maturation of the fruit. The harvest begins on September 10.
Tasting the grapes revealed tremendous promise, with a balance between freshness and generosity.
