Initially, spring 2019 started out dry with no precipitation
however during the second half of the season, the weather was
cool with some rain showers that caused a delayin bloom by
about two weeks compared to previousyears.

Summer brought
hot temperatures with well-distributed rainfall throughout the
season and optimal temperature fluctuations between dayand
night during the final weeks of the ripening phase.

At harvest time, the grapes had an excellent balance between acidity,
sugar concentration levelsand aromatic expression.
Harvesting operations began the first week of September with
Pinot Grigio, followed by Pinot Bianco, Trebbiano and Malvasia
Toscanaand wound up at the beginning of October with
Riesling Renano.
