Vintage notes
The 2022 season began with a dry, warmer-than-average winter, followed by a spring with scarce rain and rising temperatures from early May. Rain in mid-August lowered temperatures slightly and rehydrated the berries, favouring ripening with balanced sugar and acidity. Mild, dry and fresh weather then allowed full ripening and the accumulation of strong aromatic potential.
