Vintage climate: Winter normally cold with a lot of snow in the mountains, regular spring with rains in April and May, but not very intense. Very dry and hot June, in the first week of July (8th) a strong hailstorm com- promises a large part of the Palazzina vineyard and part of the Monte del Drago vineyard, resulting in a loss of 50% of the total production. The summer proceeds regularly hot and with some refreshing rain until mid-August. The harvest takes place without rain throughout the month of September, excellent harvest, perfectly and extraordinarily healthy grapes.
