Vintages
2017

Climatic conditions
In our region, the 2017 harvest is known for being an early vintage. After a mild and dry winter, early budding and spring showers allowed the flowering phase to start earlier than in previous years. Thanks to a hot and dry summer, ripe and polyphenol-rich grapes could be harvested in late August.
