Assisting in the picking this morning was <strong>Fabio Rolfi, <\/strong>the Lombardy Region\u2019s Assessor for Agriculture, Nutrition, and Green Systems, since he wanted to speak personally about this quality of this year\u2019s harvest with <strong>Arturo Ziliani, Berlucchi General Manager and Winemaker, <\/strong>as well as<strong> Board Member of Consorzio Franciacorta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year was quite challenging, requiring very careful vineyard operations, with frequent and very meticulous pruning,\u201d explained Ziliani. \u201cBut that paid off this year, with an ideal crop of <strong>grapes that are perfectly sound and healthy<\/strong>. And that was despite heavy rains during the summer, which could easily have negatively impacted the growing season, particularly since we practice <strong>organic viticulture on 91% of our estate vineyards<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the physical ripeness, that is, the correct ratio between sugars and acids in the grapes, just <strong>reached its peak<\/strong> in the best-aspected vineyards, even a bit earlier than we expected, and the acids are nice and high, just what we need for making long-lived, well-balanced sparkling wines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are expecting a <strong>lengthy, painstaking picking season<\/strong>. Crucial to our success is keeping careful track if the ripening curves in each vineyard, which our Gias mapping software makes possible this year: it gives us, in real time, a complete picture of the technical data for each individual vineyard parcel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that we survived the rains, downpours, and even two hailstorms in July,\u201d concluded Ziliani, \u201c<strong>we can finally greet August with optimism and the expectation of a great vintage<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8194\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
