2021 will be remembered as a demanding harvest, full of freshness and elegance. The winter was harsh, with good rainfall, giving the vines good reserves to cope with the hottest days in August without too much water stress. The first rains at the beginning of September made the harvest even more difficult, where the ability to adapt and plan throughout the day was crucial to achieving excellence.
