Vingate climate: A fairly regular year both in terms of rainfall and seasonal temperatures,
even if summer confirms the drought and heat trend of the last four years.
The very rainy May did not compromise the development of the plants
and the fruits, which after a scarce vintage, were abundant and the earth
managed itself with even a few rains until the beginning of September,
when an abundant precipitation accelerated the ripening and our harvest
times. For the first time we have increased the harvesting team to ensure
the grapes were picked at a perfect ripening point. The production balance
and our respectful care have allowed us to consider 2018 as an excellent
year
