Harvest 2021: Winter was colder than usual, Filomena storm caused plenty snowfalls and therefore a great level of water reserve in the vineyards. A rainy spring and a dry summer with precipitations in September delayed the harvest. Due to the damages caused by Filomena storm and the windy and rainy season during the floration time the yields were low, around 4500kg/ha
