Vintage notes
Mild and rainy winter followed by a warm and dry spring, these are the main features of the first months of 2022 growing season. Summer has also been hot, with temperatures above the average, and characterized by an almost complete lack of water. However, despite the challenges of the first half of the year, the vines were able to regulate their growth cycle and adapt to the heat. The end of August brought some rain showers that lowered down the temperatures allowing the grapes to start the veraison, while the perfect climate conditions in September were crucial for an optimal ripening of the grapes and thus securing a high quality harvest.
