The fruit remained healthy throughout the season and ripened steadily, although the lack of rain early on meant that soil moisture needed careful attention.<\/p>\n

Growth started early, with the vines becoming active in early March and budbreak following by the end of the month. April brought plenty of warmth, pushing the vines ahead quickly, until a brief cold spell around April 19\u201320 checked progress and caused some localized damage in lower-lying sites. From that point on, the season settled into a smooth rhythm. Flowering came in around the third week of May and passed quickly, setting the crop up evenly.<\/p>\n

The early summer months were consistently warm and dry, which suited the vines well and allowed the bunches to develop without pressure. A hailstorm in early July had little impact overall, but a second storm in mid-August, close to harvest, trimmed yields slightly.<\/p>\n

Picking began on August 29 with Pinot Grigio, in settled weather that allowed for a calm and orderly harvest. The fruit came in healthy and ripe, with a natural balance between sugar and acidity. pH levels were a touch higher than in 2023, but still very much in line with what we would expect.<\/p>\n

In the end, 2024 is best described as a smaller but high-quality vintage, where the crop level and fruit profile came together nicely. In terms of how the season unfolded, it sits comfortably alongside years such as 2022, 2018, 2011 and 2008.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]\n DATA SHEET 2024<\/span>\n <\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1698657079106{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}”][vc_column]

\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=””]2023 will be remembered as an unpredictable yet promising vintage, characterized by wines of great interest due to the balance between freshness and aromatic potential. An alternation of warm and rainy periods challenged vineyard management, but the careful attention given to the vines allowed their characteristics to be fully expressed. Unlike 2022, which was defined by a hot and dry climate that promoted uniform ripening, 2023 experienced significant meteorological events that influenced the vine\u2019s vegetative cycle without compromising quality.<\/p>\n

Winter recorded above-average temperatures, with a mild January and average precipitation. In contrast, February saw a drastic reduction in rainfall and slightly lower temperatures compared to the past decade, slowing the vine\u2019s vegetative awakening. During spring, cool and warm phases alternated, accelerating the phenological cycle and leading to a rapid, uniform flowering by the end of May.<\/p>\n

Summer was marked by variable conditions: while the season appeared very similar to previous ones until June, July brought abundant rainfall and violent storms, with hailstorms affecting the Collio and Isonzo areas, causing limited damage to vineyards facing west or northwest. August recorded above-average rainfall, accumulating greater water reserves than in recent years. These conditions slowed veraison and postponed the harvest, which began on September 7\u2014a delay of 7\u201310 days compared to 2022.<\/p>\n

In terms of production, yields were 25% lower than the previous year. However, the grapes demonstrated good quality, with a slightly lower-than-average sugar content but high acidity, ensuring balance and freshness along with excellent aromatic potential.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]\n DATA SHEET 2023<\/span>\n <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=””]2022 witnessed notable shifts in weather patterns. The year began with temperature inversions and a prolonged dry period with below-average rainfall. Budding commenced around 10th<\/sup> April and flowering was earlier than usual, with the first blossoms already open by 19th<\/sup> May. Spring experienced minimal rainfall, a trend that continued through the warm, dry summer months, leading to drought in certain areas. Irrigation became necessary, especially in the plains, but nevertheless, the grapevine cycle proceeded normally, with veraison of the pinot grigio around 11th<\/sup> July. August and, notably September, saw rain which contributed to excellent ripening. The final quarter of the year remained dry, with minimal water supply. Grape quality was excellent, with above average sugar accumulation, and total acidity and pH in line with historical precedents. The wines present a round, intricate profile in their early years, with excellent ageing potential, particularly in the case of Merlot.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]\n DATA SHEET 2022<\/span>\n <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

January and February recorded normal temperatures and optimal rainfall, while March was drier with unstable temperatures. Lymph rise began in the middle of the month. Late frosts hit fruit trees on 7th and 8th April, but fortunately did not lead to significant damage to the vines.<\/p>\n

Budding began towards the second half of April, starting with chardonnay, sauvignon and tocai friulano. The month of May, together with May 2019,\u00a0 <\/span>was one of the coldest in the last 30 years, with the lowest temperatures since 1991. Flowering began in the first week of June as temperatures rose and despite low rainfall, ended quickly thanks to the good water resources of the soils. Veraison began at the end of July – beginning of August, late compared to the previous year. August presented average temperatures. The first two weeks of September were dry, and we picked a large part of the white grapes in ideal weather conditions. The last three months of the year continued dry.<\/p>\n

Grape quality was very good, in particular for medium and medium-late ripening grapes. Acidity levels and pH remained good, thanks to the temperature excursions that characterized the lead in to the harvest.<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]The months of January and February witnessed sparse rainfall and above-average temperatures, while the arrival of spring brought in cold and rain. Lymph rise began in mid-March and due to drought was slightly delayed and irregular. Bud break, on the other hand, commenced in early April, ahead of the norm. May brought chilly weather with abundant rain, while June saw temperatures soaring past 30 degrees, leading to exceptionally swift flowering. Veraison began\u00a0 towards the end of July, which together with August, was\u00a0 marked by scorching hot days and low rainfall. Picking began in the first week of September, in fine weather which persisted well into late autumn.<\/p>\n

Production was lower than in 2018, but quality was high, with small grape clusters making the extraction of aromatic substances particularly interesting.Wines from the 2019 vintage have remarkable elegance, with a rich complexity of aromas and an interplay of acidity and salinity which adds depth and character on the palate[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]\n DATA SHEET 2019<\/span>\n <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
