The slow maturing of the Cabernet grapes helped the phenolic ripening producing distinctive aromas and flavours never achieved in other vintages. The winter season was quite mild with frequent rainfall while the spring started late. The heat in May favored a good budding and the summer was warm until the end of July. In the month of August the temperatures were lower than the seasonal average. The maturation therefore was slowly and gradually accomplished, although delayed. This favored aromatic extraction. The late summer rains did not harm the grapes that were monitored and cared for by the agronomists. As a result of slow maturation and favorable climatic conditions the wines appear to be harmonious with moderate alcohol content, a style that reflects the philosophy of Tenuta San Guido.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Date Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eMid-September - end of October.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eThe primary fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at a temperature of 30° - 31° C.

Autumn and Winter were long and cold, to the point that at the end of January the Bolgheri hills were covered with snow. Bolgheri experienced a cold, yet rainless fall and winter, which was not the case for other parts of Tuscany. Cold temperatures were favorable for the halting of the vegetative growth and the natural elimination of some pests of the vine. The spring started with a slight delay, causing the vines to bud 10 - 15 days later than the seasonal average. From the beginning of May, however, the temperatures rose and accelerated the arrival of summer. June rainfall partially reconstituted the water reserves of the soil. The summer was very hot, with sunny days and temperatures above the seasonal average. Although some have likened the summer of 2012 to that of 2003, the difference lies in the considerable fluctuations in temperature between night and day which prevented water stress in plants in 2012.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nHarvest Date Notes: Early September - first days of October\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003eWinemaking\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eThe primary fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at a temperature of 30° - 31° C.
