The primary phenological phases for the Barbera grapes are seen in the slight earliness with respect to average years, but the harvest began, as it normally has in recent years, the third week in September.
A frost in mid-April lowered the yield. Fortunately, the violent hail that struck the area up until a few days before the harvest spared us.
Having maintained a good balance between leaf walls and number of bunches, we contained the problem of grapes shriveling under the hot sun in the most exposed areas.
In general, we can affirm that the must presents more than satisfactory analytical parameters, with elevated sugar grades and medium-balanced acidity.
