Bolgheri DOC 2022

2022 was a year marked by a specific period of drought that began at the end of winter and persisted for much of the summer. In mid-August, a series of thunderstorms proved providential during the crucial grape ripening period. Bolgheri varieties demonstrated a very positive response, resilient on one hand to the initial lack of water and on the other, efficiently metabolizing the rains, ultimately allowing for optimal ripening, especially for the<br/>later-ripening varieties. Harvest started early, around the third week of August on average, and concluded at the end of September."

The winter was rainy with above average temperatures. Spring started with mild temperatures, which led to an early start of the vegetative recovery. During the first few days of April, temperatures dropped below freezing for two nights, causing damage in the budding phase. Subsequently, temperatures rose, allowing the vines to resume regular vegetative development. The summer was dry and hot, but without torrid days, allowing the grapes to ripen regularly and slowly.
