Vintage Quality
The 2020 growing season in the Barbaresco area was characterized by a mild and dry winter followed by a sunny, dry start to spring, which led to early growth. Cooler temperatures and significant rainfall in May and June slowed development but provided beneficial groundwater reserves, preventing water stress in the summer. Excellent weather conditions in September, featuring significant day-to-night temperature fluctuations, guaranteed an ideal ripening phase. Overall, the 2020 vintage is noted for yielding wines with great poise, seductive fruit concentration, elegance, and round, supple tannins, promising excellent ageing potential.
