Climate change of the year
 Autumn and winter were among the rainiest in recent years. The real spring started in April, when the rains ended and the temperatures had a sudden rush, with decidedly high average daily. The summer has spent with values on average, which led to slow and gradual maturation of the clusters. In September the wide thermal excursion between day and night allowed the grapes to mature perfectly both technologically and polyphenolic. The harvest started on the first of October.
