vintage description

Temperatures above average in spring resulted in early budding and a prolonged period of high temperatures in May accelerated flowering. Thanks to careful vineyard management and occasional showers, the vines survived the summer characterized by stages of extreme heat without stress. The harvest began almost two weeks earlier than usual and, thanks to ideal weather conditions, the grapes reached an exceptional degree of quality. The red wines of the 2022 vintage are superb, as they could reach perfect ripeness and develop complex fruit notes. The flavor is full, with expressive aromas. The white wines, on the other hand, are characterised by notes of refined fruit and balanced acidity.

winemaking

After the harvest, the grapes are transported to the winery in small containers for destemming and after one night of soaking with the skins, the juice is bled off to be fermented in steel tanks at controlled temperature (20-22° C). The Lagrein Rosé ages in steel tanks without malolactic conversion.
