Reflecting on the climate of 2023, it marked the hottest year on record. Due to the abnormal temperatures, particularly in the latter part of the year, which were somewhat moderate, ranging between 18 and 19 degrees Celsius, our vines experienced proper ripening. The 2023 growing season was one of the rainiest in recent years, and coupled with the heat episodes, it led to an advancement in the harvest dates. Nevertheless, it resulted in a harvest of exceptionally high quality.
