2022 VINTAGE FEATURES
In 2022 we had hot summer temperatures, with peaks of 38 degrees Celsius (100 °F) and lack of rainfalls. Climate change is challenging both vineyard and men resistance, but our field management, together with the main features of Bertinoro’s soils, guarantee very pleasant, drinkable wines, suitable for multiple food matches.
In this wine, after bottling tannins are still a little bit hard, but in a few months it is going to be more harmonic, intriguing, with a complexity that will define it.
