Bell'Aja Bolgheri 2017

Vintage 2017 has been characterized by a mild and dry winter followed by a spring with very little rainfalls. As a consequence the vines budded almost 20 days in advance. In the second decade of April night frosts have slowed down the vegetative development of the shoots, but fortunately without damage.

The month of May through August were characterized by hot dry weather with temperatures above the average. Rain showers at the end of August and September have lowered the temperatures guaranteeing a balanced ripening of the grapes.
