SEASON 2022

For many reasons, the beginning of the 2022 season was very similar to that of 2021. The months of November and December were characterized by unusually mild weather and low rainfall. The following months saw a significant drop in temperatures, which led to late budbreak in the vines, rather than the early development observed in previous years. The flowering period was dominated by torrid weather, allowing for an excellent ripening phase in terms of fruit quality and vine health. Only younger vines with underdeveloped root systems suffered significant water stress, making frequent and abundant irrigation necessary. In mid-August, the arrival of rain proved providential during the final veraison and ripening phases of the bunches; moreover, day–night temperature variations helped preserve the phenolic components. September was characterized by sunny days and light breezes, which advanced cluster ripening by about 15 days compared to previous vintages. Harvest began around mid-August and was carried out exclusively at night to avoid high daytime temperatures, thereby preserving the aromatic content of the grapes.

HARVEST

15th SEPTEMBER TO 16th SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

This wine was born from the idea of ​​bottling the Valténesi area. For more than a century, rosé vinification has indelibly characterized our winemaking vocation. The "Setamora" is one of the few aged rosè wines in the world, this particularity makes it unique in its kind. Our best grapes are harvested and vinified separately by variety. After a short "cryo-maceration" in the press, the “flower must” obtained ferments at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts. Once the different pure wines are obtained, we proceed with a careful blending in stainless steel. A further 6 months in the bottle then allow to reach that balance that distinguishes this precious wine.
