Growing Season
The year 2022 had a particularly rainfall-free winter characterized by long periods of high pressure and significant temperature fluctuations. The vines sprouted 10 days later than in past years and then grew with great vigor, aided by temperatures that rose above average since May. The spring months were very dry, and even the dry summer weather led to moderate berry growth with localized water stress phenomena. The rains that fell starting in mid-August allowed the plants to accelerate the physiological processes slowed down due to the drought and bring forward the ripening, which arrived a few days earlier than last year. Few rains before the harvest brought a good crop, and in early September the white grape harvest was practically over and the red grapes began to be picked. Sangiovese benefited from the warm days and rainfall to complete its ripening. The 2022 harvest yielded perfectly healthy grapes with higher-than-average sugar content in recent years and acidities in line with past years. The small size of the berries and the concentration achieved during the summer months gave us harvests suited for the production of red wines with structure and long aging.
