We will remember the 2019 vintage as one of the most homogeneous and high-quality vintages in recent years. During the summer months, we had average temperatures with cooler nights. We recorded 6 rainfalls (3 in July and 3 in August) that helped avoid water stress and created the perfect conditions to start the ripening season. The weather conditions were
excellent, so we took our time to select and harvest each grape from each parcel in its most harmonious balance between ripeness and crispness. The harvest at Nocolino started with Merlot in late August. It ended after about a month with the harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2021 vintage was characterised by low rainfall and temperatures below zero during the month of February. March was dry with the maximum temperature being above average, thus accelerating the budding process. The springtime, was otherwise, cool and rainy with a frost that was recorded on April 8th. Fortunately, the weather remained dry and stable during the whole month of August, thanks to the arrival of an anticyclone towards the end of May. September was sunny and warm, this allowed us to harvest the grapes at their full phenolic
ripeness, with a result of soft and silky tannins.

Winter temperatures were mild, with a fresh early spring followed by an April and May with either maximum or minimum above-average temperatures. After copious rainfall in the first week of June, summer continued with no precipitation but cool nights and average maximum temperatures. A clear and bright sky marked the Summer season until the end of August, when a significant rain gave the plants a new vitality and allowed the grapes to ripe correctly. The 2020 vintage grapes show high quality, gentle and well-ripened tannins in all parcels.
