We just finished this year\u2019s grape harvest at the Cascina Gramolere by collecting the last bunches of Nebbiolo grapes that will produce the Barolo 2015 vintage.<\/p>\n

The climate has been quite favorable this year<\/strong>, although this summer\u2019s heat had given me some concern.<\/p>\n

The rain too wasn\u2019t of concern during the harvest.<\/p>\n

The wines produced this year, I am sure, will be of the highest quality<\/strong>. Dolcetto for example, which we\u2019ve just removed from the containers, has the same characteristics as in the past (like in the good old days, as we say!).<\/p>\n

One thing that impressed me a lot, as we completed the harvest, was the leaves that were still quite green on the vines and the classic autumn colors that had yet to arrive<\/strong>. Colors that can only marginally be seen, thus forming a sort of multicolored mosaic in which the green color still dominates the red, yellow and orange colors.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, such beautiful grapes made harvesting this year an incredible treat<\/strong>. I hope the same goes for the numerous tourists who just happened to be visiting our hills during this period!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
