Vintage Report 2006

Nearly perfect year-round weather contributed to the grapes’ good phenolic ripeness and a balanced growth of the vines.

The rainfall during the first four months of the year, which continued in July, led to an excellent grape production while, thanks to a very mild spring season followed by hot weather in July and a well-balanced August, the perfect level of ripeness was reached.

During September, due to the daily average temperature above 21° C, a great concentration of anthocyanins and poliphenols and a unique aroma complexity were achieved.2005 is an excellent vintage which promises to age extremely well.
