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

Although on the hills, the vineyards are situated in small swale, protected from the winds from Lake Garda. This detail, usually a disadvantage, is a big plus in the case of Terminum: only this way can the Botrytis cinerea spores develop which reward us with great dessert wines. After handpicking, the grapes are delivered in small containers. After about 12 hours of maceration, they are pressed very gently (up to 1.8 bar).

MATURATION

Once fermentation is complete, the wine continues aging in barrique barrels for another 6-9 months.
