We say the first harvest, for the Cabernet Franc because we took only the weak plants and those part of the vineyards for the CiFRA and Altrovino wines.
At the moment we keep all the different grapes and parts of the vineyards divided that are fermenting in separate cement vats. Even some small quantities are fermenting in very tiny plastic vats where we can push down the cap by hand. It is very funny!
It's been a great harvest so far that's started with sun and warm temperatures. The grapes are rich in sugars and flavors, with good aromas and acidity thanks to the fresh temperatures of the nights.
We had some rain during the past weekend so we will wait a few more days to start picking the Syrah grapes, but it will be sometime this week!
