The winter was mild, with temperatures slightly above seasonal averages. The first days of April saw a return of cold spells, causing some damage to budding, which affected Sangiovese only marginally. The first four months of the year were slightly drier than the average for the period. In May and June, rainfall was extremely abundant, reaching two hundred millimeters of cumulative rain and twenty-eight rainy days out of sixty.

After the early summer months, the weather pattern fortunately shifted radically, with excellent sunshine and high temperatures. September was characterized by above-average temperatures and abundant northern winds with almost no rain.

Food Pairing: A perfect match with white meat dishes, cold-cuts and cheese.
