a.k.a.  Swing the shears, for the time has come!

Super sunny weather and  temperatures over 40° C in the last month have pushed the harvest 20 days earlier this year. With all this sun we did gain the concentration of the flavours, which contributes to our taste-distinction, through lower volumes of fruit per vine.

We started with the Chardonnay and Fiano Minutolo on August and the team harvested the Primitivo grapes  in the early hours of the last couple of weeks. Negroamaro will be the last as usual, we did regular testing of the acidity and sugar levels in our grapes in order to establish which is the perfect harvest date, and it seems the time has come. The scent of the new must is all around the winery… and the new vintage quality will be excellent, our winemaker says.
