2024
THE 2024 VINTAGE
The mild winter and an extraordinarily warm April slightly brought forward bud break. May and June, which were rainy and below average in temperatures, were followed by a July and August with temperatures so high as to inhibit photosynthesis and delay ripening. In the first few days of September, temperatures suddenly dropped below average and were accompanied by frequent rainfall that did not affect the quality of the grapes yet to be harvested. The Chardonnay harvest began on 26 August, while that of the Sauvignon on 3 September.

2023
THE 2023 VINTAGE
The winter was mild, with temperatures slightly above seasonal averages. The first few days of April were characterised by cold snaps causing some damage to the budding. Rainfall for the first four months of the year was slightly below the statistical data for recent years. In May and June, precipitation was extremely heavy, reaching two hundred millimetres of cumulative rain and twenty-eight days of rain out of sixty. Once the early summer months had passed, providentially, the weather pattern underwent a radical change with excellent sunshine and high temperatures. September was characterised by above-average temperatures and strong northern winds with an almost complete absence of rain. Sauvignon harvesting began on 28 August, whilst that of Chardonnay started on the 31st.

2022
THE 2022 VINTAGE
The growing season started at the usual time after a typical winter for our area, in which minimum temperatures dropped below zero for the first three months of the year. 2022 was characterized by a lack of rain: only 170 mm of precipitation was recorded, from winter to early spring season. In May, we recorded drought and higher temperatures than average. Then, we had scorching days in June, July and mid-August. This led to an early harvest of the white varieties. Thanks to the high ventilation of our vineyards during the hottest hours of the afternoon, the aromas and, most of all, the acidity were perfectly preserved.
