Vintage Report 2004
CAVALLI TENUTA DEGLI DEI
The 2004 is one of the best vintages of the past few years. Despite the initial rainy weather- with 88,44 mm of rainfall between January and May- it rained steadily throughout the year and the aquifers were replenished to provide water during the summer season.
Spring weather was mild with an average temperature of about 12,5° C.
Summer was hot but not too dry and August was the hottest month with an average temperature of 24,36°C. The light rain showers over the summer and in September – only 40 mm of rainfall in our area- helped the grapes reach a good level of ripeness. The perfect balance between structure and acidity suggests that the wines have a great potential for ageing.
