It began with a spring with higher average temperatures than in recent years, and much drier than usual. This lead to the budding and flowering occurring almost one month in advance, such as the settling, which was at the beginning of June, approximately a month earlier than usual. Because summer was not very hot and there were many cloudy days, ripening was delayed and harvesting took place on the usual dates. This is a good vintage in terms of quality and quantity.
