THE 2024 HARVEST "VERY GOOD"

The 2024 campaign has been described by the Regulatory Council as a challenging yet high-quality vintage, marked by spring frosts, hailstorms, heavy rainfall, and pronounced thermal variations between September and October. Despite a reduction in grape yield (approximately –18.8% compared to 2023), growers achieved balanced ripening, with healthy grapes of exceptional quality.
