In what has been for many people a complex year, comforting expectations<\/b> animate the work in the cellar. The musts of the grapes harvested in the 2022 harvest are now fermenting, and this process releases a symphony of intoxicating and recognizable aromas of flowers and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n
The 2022 vintage was decidedly complex<\/strong>: winter and spring time have been characterized by low rainfall<\/strong>, average high temperatures and total absence of snow. A long period that resulted in a slightly anticipated vegetative start of the vine<\/strong>, but in a situation of water stress<\/strong>. Fortunately, the vine is an adaptable species and the trend was regular until flowering<\/strong>, which took place between the last days of May and early June. A favorable weather then allowed a perfect and homogeneous setting<\/strong> of the flowers.<\/p>\n The constant dry and sunny climate for the months of June and July has put a strain on the resistance capabilities of this ever so generous plant, which has developed clusters with grapes of less than average size, but with a perfect health status. The slight climate change<\/strong> of the first days<\/strong> of August <\/strong> saw cooler nights and some small but sufficient rainfall: this literally saved the vintage<\/em>. The clusters have taken on a regular development, balanced and golden, as needed. The harvest of Col Vetoraz therefore began in the first days of September, the cool nights allowed a harvest in the best conditions of beautiful and perfectly ripe grapes.<\/p>\n “Therefore, considering this analysis as a whole<\/em> – comments Loris Dall’Acqua winemaker and CEO<\/strong> of the company – our assumptions for the vintage are encouraging and undoubtedly higher than the expectations that such a complex season initially presented us.”.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In what has been for many people a complex year, comforting expectations<\/b> animate the work in the cellar.
