1994 Floods
The exceptionally heavy, intense rainfalls which swept over
Piedmont in the 1994 Fall caused extensive and serious damage
to the low-lying areas, while erosive phenomena triggered landslides
in the vine-growing sloping areas.
The most serious landslides mainly hit the youngest vineyards
causing serious damage and inflicting painful wounds to these
hilly slopes.
The year was an unfavourable one from the thermic point of view:
the vegetative development fostered by a mild April was later
slowed down by a sudden drop in temperature at the end of the
same month and by a summer with June as the only hot month.
September was marked by cloudy and rainy weather. Only at the
end of the month did the fine weather come back again thus enabling
the harvest operations to be successfully completed in October.
The wines
Negative phenomena like late frost, rains during the flowering
period, extensive hails in August resulted into a marked decrease
in the production of grapes. In spite of unfavourable climatic
conditions, however, these factors enabled us to produce wines
of excellent quality ,though not very concentrated ones which
are suitable for a medium or long ageing process. |
