Vintage description

The 2022 vintage was defined by extreme heat and prolonged drought. After a mild, dry winter and a brief cool spell in spring, summer brought relentless heat waves with temperatures reaching nearly 37 °C. From June to August, rainfall was scarce and soils remained parched. September saw slightly cooler but still dry conditions, allowing for an early harvest under perfect, sunny skies. The year ended as it began – exceptionally dry – resulting in concentrated, ripe grapes and wines of remarkable depth and structure.
