The lack of rainfall during the winter and a rise in temperatures at the beginning of the spring, meant an early start of the growing season, almost 20 days before average. The spring was followed by a vicious heatwave so a good canopy management and effective emergency irrigation systems in the vineyards, were fundamental to survive the heat. Despite the efforts, some fruit was inevitably lost due to below average yields. but the fruit still showed a great fruit concentration, due to the increase in the day-to-nighttime temperature range that occurred in the second half of August.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe selected bunches were harvested by hand and were left to dry for four months in a humidity-controlled drying rooms where they lost about 50% of their original weight. After destemming and soft crushing, the grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks at 8-22°C for 22-24 days with daily pump overs. The wine was aged for 5 months in stainless-steel tanks, before 15 months in oak and a further 6 months in bottle before release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRuby red in colour, this Recioto has an intensely aromatic nose, which is bursting with red fruits and herbs.
