Vintage Caractheristics:
2022 : Will be remembered as one of the hottest and driest years. The first months were characterized by a lack of rainfall that continued into spring. From the second half of May, there were also increases in temperatures, well above seasonal averages. The strong conditions of thermal and water stress were however tolerated by the Sangiovese Grosso thanks to its anisohydric characteristics. At the end of July, there were finally some rains that were decisive in overturning the vintage's outcome. there was an early harvest that concluded towards the last week of September, with grapes that were rich in polyphenolic content and interesting in terms of aromas.
