Growing Conditions
The unusual climatic situation had caused a high concentration of sugars into the bunches and a sensible reduction in the liquid substances, especially in those vines characterized by its early maturation.
Harvest
Mid September
The high concentration of sugars, more than 13°degrees, determined rather in advance compared to previous years. The Malvasia grapes were picked by mid September.
Brolio closed the harvest season before the intense rain moved into the region.
