2015 VINTAGE 2015 was a great vintage. The winter and spring precipitations, capable of guaranteeing the accumulation of good water reserves in the soil, alternated with sunny and windy days that allowed a rapid and homogeneous growth of the bunches in the months of May and June. A generally hot summer favored the regular development of the grapes. The north wind and the temperate climate of September allowed to conclude the ripening in an optimal way.
