Winter was mainly dry and mild leading to an early but homogeneous budding of the plants starting from the second week of March for Sangiovese and from the third week for Merlot. Spring was sunny, accompanied by some rains in May and June, favoring the course of an excellent flowering, which took place slightly earlier in the last week of May. Summer was hot and dry with good temperature ranges between day and night. In the last week of August, two very precious rains brought relief to the plants and lowered temperatures, allowing the vines to complete grape ripening. The harvest began on the third of September in ideal conditions, with sunny days without heat peaks. These conditions resulted in grapes of excellent quality, with excellent phenolic ripeness and great aromatic balance.
