SEASON 2022

For many reasons, the beginning of the 2022 season was very similar to the 2021 season. The months of November and December were characterized by an unusually mild weather with poor rainfall. The following months were marked by a significant drop of the temperatures, which led the vines towards a late sprouting, and not as early as in previous years. The following months of flowering were dominated by torrid weather, allowing an excellent ripening phase in terms of fruit and vine wholesomeness. Only younger vines with underdeveloped roots suffered significant water stress and it was necessary to use frequent and abundant irrigation. In mid-August, the arrival of the rain was providential in the final veraison and ripening phase of the bunches, moreover, the day/night temperature variations preserved the phenolic components. September was characterized by sunny days and light breezes which anticipated the cluster ripening by about 15 days compared to the previous vintages. The harvest began around mid-August, exclusively at night, to avoid high daytime temperatures, thus allowing the aromatic content of the grapes to be preserved.

HARVEST

15th SEPTEMBER TO 23rd SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

The selected grapes, once in the winery, are destemmed and put directly into the press. After a soft pressing, the must is kept at 10°C and left to clarify naturally through static decantation. The limpid is then taken and fermented at a controlled temperature using selected yeasts. Once obtained, the wine is left to mature for about 4 months in stainless steel tanks, then left to refine in the bottle.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

Straw yellow color with greenish highlights. On the nose expresses floral and fruity notes including white pulp fruit with a small hint of citrus and white flowers. The taste is fresh with a distinct mineral note and a slightly citrus finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS
