Vegetative cycle
For 2019 Barolo, following a long winter, plant growth resumed without any issues. The variable weather with moderate average temperatures continued throughout May 2019, confirming a delay of about two weeks compared to the vegetative cycle of recent years, but in accordance with a more customary pattern.
Climatic trend
Unlike last year, which was particularly early, 2019 Barolo will be remembered for having followed a more traditional path.
The beginning of the agricultural season was slow due to the protracted winter until February, causing a delay in spring with rains and low temperatures that lasted until mid-March. The unstable climate, characterized by moderate average temperatures, continued throughout the month of May.
The hottest part of the summer was recorded between the last week of June and the first week of July, followed by days with milder temperatures alternating with piogre. At the end of July, there was the second heat wave of the summer, which ended with thunderstorms, although intense but not harmful to the vines. The rest of the summer season was characterized by a mild climate with sporadic and regular piogre, which required constant attention from winegrowers for the management of the vineyard.
The harvest of Nebbiolo grapes was carried out in the second half of October, and its analytical parameters were “classic”, with a good sugar content and an excellent polyphenolic profile, suggesting the potential for structured wines with remarkable aging abilities.
