Brunello di Montalcino Nicco 2019
Winter with temperatures slightly above the average compared to recent years. Rainfall concentrated between January 18th and 25th and the fi rst fi ve days of February, for a total of about 70 mm over the two months. Budding took place at the usual time, with rainfall of around 100 mm and average temperatures of around 10°C in March, April and May. The seasonal trend during these months led to a vegetative slowing down of about two weeks.
There was no signifi cant rainfall in June and July, except for a major phenomenon at the end of July, with about 70 mm in two days. Average temperatures during the two months were
between 20°C and 25°C, with peaks of 35°C on just two days.
No precipitation was recorded in August, apart from around the 25th of the month, with a total of 20 mm; temperatures were within the usual range, with maximums between 30 and 35°C.
Thanks to the accumulated water reserves and temperatures that never reached excessively high peaks, the foliage remained more or less intact and effi cient. All this allowed the slow and
even ripening of the grapes, ideal for obtaining perfect phenolic and technological maturity. As well as delaying the harvest, rain during the fi rst week of September also allowed the containment of the alcohol content of the grapes
