Season characterized by a mild and rainy winter, followed by a spring that was initially dry and later cooler and more variable between May and June.

Rainfall at the end of August and during September supported ripening without causing any critical issues. Harvest began on September 18th, with healthy grapes, high sugar concentration and limited yield.
