Growing Season
2022 is a year to remember for its bizarre climate characteristics. After a mild but rainy autumn-winter, the beginning of March was cold and dry, followed by a hot and dry period. It is worth mentioning a hailstorm on July 7th, which partly damaged the clusters of some vineyards, fortunately without compromising the final quality of the grapes. The rains that came in mid-August balanced the physiological condition of the vineyards, allowing the harvest of healthy and well-ripened grapes.
