Vintage Details
It was a very hot season, especially in September, where the temperatures rose to 30-35 degrees. This unusual condition accelerated the ripening of the grapes, and harvest happened 10-15 days before the usual period at the end of September and the first days of October. In terms of organoleptic features, the mature grapes gave a more intense fruity style to the wines and higher alcohol level and structure. The Barbaresco DOCG 2017, compared to other vintages, is more pleasant to taste now. It's ready to drink and doesn't need too much time to refine in the bottle to express its best character.
