Riserva Le Baròncole 2022

Spring and first half of summer time were marked by a hot and dry climate trend. Such weather conditions were protracted till the 12th of August.

After that date, thanks to the arrival of various thunderstorms and currents of cooler air, this potentially critical drought situation rapidly changed for the best, allowing for a quick lymphatic recovery of the vines.

During the harvest period, we had a quite steady sunny weather with no excessive rains or extreme temperature changes.

All in all, a vintage of medium concentration, with a particularly intense fruit.
