Growing Conditions

2010 vintage was a low yield but very high quality one. Low yields were due to a cold spring that delayed bud break and following scattered frosts which led to uneven flowering. January and February (beginning of summer) were quite warm months and no rain or hail storms after mid February led to perfectly ripe, healthy grapes with great concentration.

Harvest

All grapes were harvested manually and selected at the vineyard itself, transported in small 20kg cases to the winery and immediately crushed.
