Vintage 2022 was a different vintage from the previous ones. Arid conditions as early as February and March meant that by the end of spring
the season was ahead of the norm by about 20 days. The sun, the excessive heat, and the lack of rain created such a critical situation that only
emergency irrigation made it possible for the bunches to ripen. The first few days of August and the rainfall between 6th and 13th August
brought welcome relief, reversing the course of the vintage. The veraison phase speeded up and almost all the bunches were able to ripen,
also due to the increase in the day-to-nighttime temperature range that occurred in the second half of August. In the first stage of the harvest,
a violent hailstorm caused severe damage to the crops. Fortunately for us, our vineyards are located in 4 of the 5 municipalities of Valpolicella
in which a large part of the yield was safeguarded.
