The 2009 vintage was characaterized by a winter of mild tempratures and abundant rainfall which contributed, during the first half of April, to an excellent bud break. Between Aèrl 20th and May 15th temperatures were notably lower than seasonal averages; this unusual cold spell slowed down the development of the vegetation which started up, however, once again, with the warmth of late May. Bud set, as usual, took place in early June. Vegetative growth and development continued in a positive manner thanks to an early summer which was somewhat rainy for the season. This rainfall allowed the vines to maintain a balanced vegetation even during the hot month of August, guaranteeing a complete color change of the grapes. Good temperature swings between daytime heat and nighttime coolness during the month assisted in a steady ripening and to healthy and perfectly intact grapes at the moment of picking. The harvest itself, which began in late September, took place under warm and dry weather which allowed the grapes to be picked at optimal ripeness levels. The resulting wine is balanced, sweet, and intense.
