Vintage 2022

The 2022 climate will be remembered especially for its warmth, and above all, for its persistence throughout the summer. A summer that also started early, with positive temperature anomalies of more than 2 degrees Celsius since May. The lack of precipitation is also notable: although the July storms helped to stem the tide, the lack of water was evident throughout the year. Despite these conditions, the vines showed strong resistance to water stress and kept the fruit in perfect condition.

Harvest 2022

The 2022 harvest began 10 days earlier than usual. The late summer rains allowed for good ripening and slowed the pace slightly. High temperatures brought the harvest forward, but we were able to maintain a low alcohol content and good freshness and acidity.
