2024 VINTAGE FEATURES
This crop was not easy, especially as far as weather was concerned: May and June with frequent rainfalls, some hail and, following, a hot July with peaks of 30-Celsius degrees (102 F), never experienced on the hills of Bertinoro! This thermal shock caused some troubles to bottom leaves, which showed symptoms of water stress and partially dried out.
Luckily, at Mid-August it rained a lot and the ripening level of grapes slowed down. At the beginning of September, sugars, PH and acidity indicated a good level of ripening and we were able to harvest.
I CROPPI 2024 is a balanced wine, with typical traits of the indigenous grape Albana, an excellent expression of Bertinoro’s terroir: salty and mineral.
