The rains at the end of the cycle, close to the harvest, influenced its start. These climatic conditions led to an early budding, a very homogeneous veraison across all plots, and optimal polyphenolic ripeness with lower degrees. Despite the risk of diseases, the health condition of the grapes was exceptional. The wines from the 2020 harvest are very intense aromatically and smooth on the palate.
