CLIMATIC CYCLE
The 2014 vintage was not easy. The experience in viticulture has a special value.
Spring was very dry and warm. Very good vegetative expression and phenological advance.
June was a particularly rainy month. July was cold with some storms. Mildew and oidium were present during the last part of the cycle.
August was quite cool, with buoyant vegetation and good maturation. The first two weeks of September were extremely hot and dry, causing water stress.
Harvest without rain, but complicated.
