The final part of a very mild winter was followed by a cold (-3.5 \u00b0C) and very rainy (+246 mm) spring followed by a hot summer (+ 1.8 \u00b0C) with little precipitation (- 185 mm).<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Due to temperatures of 1.8 \u00b0C above the historical record, in the second half of March budding was 4 days early. Subsequently, the adverse spring weather conditions delayed the growth of the shoots, with<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>flowering coming in the first ten days of June. Fortunately, because of the high summer temperatures, clusters grew rapidly, making up for part of the negative gap observed at the beginning of the season.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>START OF HARVEST<\/strong>:<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0september 9<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">FINE VENDEMMIA:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0october 11<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong><b>WINES PRODUCED<\/b>:<\/strong> Erba Alta, Cabernet Franc, Schioppettino, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Picolit, Verduzzo Passito<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- Start of Story Repeater Content --><div id=\"story-aa3b5d7\" class=\"twae-story twae-repeater-item twae-story-left twae-story-no-icon\"><!-- Story Label --><div class=\"twae-labels\"><div class=\"twae-label-big\">2018<\/div><\/div><!-- Story Icon --><div class=\"twae-icon\"><\/div><!-- Story Arrow --><div class=\"twae-arrow\"><\/div><!-- Start of Story Content --><div class=\"twae-content\"><!-- Story Image --><div class=\"twae-media full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018.jpg 800w, https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div><!-- Story Description --><div class=\"twae-description\"><p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">2018<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">2018 will be remembered as one of the hottest years of the last decade.

In May, however, temperatures dropped 1\u00b0C below average with still moderate rainfall. From the third ten-day period of June the rains increased significantly. The month of July saw the adverse weather trend continue, with considerable rainfall and an anomalous number of days with rain.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The month of August was characterized by a high number of days with rain combined with very few sunny days (only 3 days with more than 30\u00b0C).

Only at the end of September did the rains stop.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The seasonal trend led to a lower than average number of clusters per grapevine. However, this was offset by an increase in the average berry weight, owing to the very rainy season up until harvest. The cool temperatures and low solar radiation in the months of July and August slowed down all the metabolic processes of the plant, leading to a general reduction in the photosynthetic capacity of the plants and a consequent low accumulation of sugars and phenolic substances.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>START OF HARVEST<\/strong>: mid-September<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>END OF HARVEST<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s2\">early October<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><strong>WINES PRODUCED<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Cabernet Franc, Schioppettino, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Picolit, Verduzzo and Verduzzo Passito<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- Start of Story Repeater Content --><div id=\"story-189f797\" class=\"twae-story twae-repeater-item twae-story-right twae-story-no-icon\"><!-- Story Label --><div class=\"twae-labels\"><div class=\"twae-label-big\">2013<\/div><\/div><!-- Story Icon --><div class=\"twae-icon\"><\/div><!-- Story Arrow --><div class=\"twae-arrow\"><\/div><!-- Start of Story Content --><div class=\"twae-content\"><!-- Story Image --><div class=\"twae-media full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013.jpg 800w, https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/marcosara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div><!-- Story Description --><div class=\"twae-description\"><p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">2013<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Overall, the 2013 vintage was in the historical average in terms of temperature and rainfall was above average, except in the summer quarter.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the vineyards, production was reduced by an average of 40%, mainly due to the decreased number of bunches per plant.
