-
Pril was dry and mild, while May was somewhat cooler. Summer temperatures were close to seasonal averages. June and July were rainy. The beginning of ripening took place during dry weather that lasted until September, with just about average rainfall. The harvest started in the first week of October. Yields were a miserable 8 hectolitres per hectare due to the effect of the 1956 frost.
