Viticultural Year
The year was characterized by yet another atypical year, with a warm and rainy winter, a very hot and dry spring, and a hot summer classified as normal, due to the precipitation recorded in the months of June and September. Throughout the vegetative cycle, high temperatures and reduced precipitation, observed in some months, contributed to a year considered hot and normal in terms of precipitation.
