September 2014: Grape harvest & more

We're now at the core of one of the most charming moments of the vine year. We say bye to the summer and we celebrate the upcoming fall with enjoyable sunny days, giving our guests the unique chance of tasting our wines by a privileged position, watching the groove of the harvest phase, charming and unmissable date of this month...
News from the vineyard
Thanks to the mild temperatures of the first part of September, we could complete the harvest of Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, bringing to the cellars perfectly ripened grapes. Thanks to the features of the very cool year, the harvest has a suitable acidity, an interesting feature to guarantee wines pleasantness. We are now waiting some weeks before starting the second part of our grape harvest, constantly monitoring the maturation state of our amazing Grignolino, Barbera and Freisa grapes.
