Weather conditions of the 2023 vintage

The 2023 vintage stands out for its contrasting and demanding climate. After a mild and wet winter, spring encouraged rapid vine growth. However, several rainy periods required close attention in the organically and biodynamically managed vineyards.

Then, the summer alternated between heat, dry periods and moderate rainfall. These conditions allowed a slow and even ripening of the grapes while preserving excellent aromatic freshness. As a result, the harvest produced balanced, rich and expressive grapes.

Finally, the 2023 vintage reveals elegant and harmonious wines. In addition, the palate is defined by fine tannins together with an excellent balance between fruit, freshness and structure.
