La Contea
The vintage
This vintage was characterized by a cool and rainy spring, which helped ensure a good water reserve in the soil. Although the summer saw higher temperatures, the temperature fluctuations between day and night created ideal conditions for a balanced maturation of the grapes. Despite their promising quality, however, the late rains in September caused some difficulties, reducing the harvest volume compared to initial expectations. Overall, the quality has been very promising for the production of fresh and aromatic wines.
Terrain Composition
Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
