Vintage notes
The winter of 2022 was especially cold in Piemonte, with little snow. A warm spring brought mountain meltwater that partially replenished groundwater reserves, but temperatures rose in late spring and oppressive heat arrived before summer. Water retained in the soil mitigated the worst effects of the drought. Yields were lower, while the fruit was highly concentrated.
