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<p>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<p>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<p>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<p>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]<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tercic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tercic-Scheda-FRIULANO-2024-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"eltdf-btn eltdf-btn-medium eltdf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-btn-text\">DATA SHEET 2024<\/span>\n    <\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1698655517076{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"eltdf-section-title-holder   \" style=\"text-align: left\">\n\t<div class=\"eltdf-st-inner\">\n        \t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"eltdf-st-title\" >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-st-title-inner\"><span class=\"eltdf-st-side-line-left\" ><\/span>Vintages<span class=\"eltdf-st-side-line-right\" ><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"eltdf-accordion-holder eltdf-ac-default  eltdf-toggle eltdf-ac-simple  clearfix\">\n\t<h5 class=\"eltdf-accordion-title\">\n    <span class=\"eltdf-accordion-mark\">\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_plus icon_plus\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_minus icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"eltdf-tab-title\">2023<\/span>\n<\/h5>\n<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content\">\n\t<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content-inner\">\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]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<p>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<p>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<p>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]<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tercic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tercic-Scheda-FRIULANO-2023-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"eltdf-btn eltdf-btn-medium eltdf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-btn-text\">DATA SHEET 2023<\/span>\n    <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><h5 class=\"eltdf-accordion-title\">\n    <span class=\"eltdf-accordion-mark\">\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_plus icon_plus\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_minus icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"eltdf-tab-title\">2022<\/span>\n<\/h5>\n<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content\">\n\t<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content-inner\">\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]2022 witnessed notable shifts in weather patterns.

Positive weather conditions from May to July were marked by evenly distributed rainfall particularly high temperatures in the month of June, critical for the growth of the berries. The first signs of veraison were observed at the beginning of\u00a0 July in the early zones, two weeks ahead of the historical average for the area. Record-breaking heat at the end of July and the first decade of August created ideal conditions for ripe, healthy fruit, while significant temperature excursions promoted the synthesis of essential aromatic compounds.<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 vintage is also remembered for the perfect September weather, which created perfect conditions for the ripening of red grapes.

From the end of winter, and notably in February and March, above average temperatures were recorded, leading to bud break approximately ten days earlier than usual. These higher temperatures persisted into early April and coincided with an absence of rain which ensured excellent bud burst and uniformity in bud development.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the month, during the night between the 20th and 21st, temperatures dropped abruptly, prompting a late frost that caused considerable damage to the already advanced buds. As a result, some vineyards in the valley and in the Isonzo DOC experienced significant losses, and an imbalance emerged between the hillsides and the vines on the plain. While the higher vineyards maintained a slight lead into the harvest, those affected by the frost had delay ripening, aligning the harvest date with the seasonal average. The summer was marked by warm daytime temperatures and temperate nights, which created almost ideal conditions for optimal grape ripening and healthy fruit. Varieties such as pinot grigio and chardonnay displayed excellent ripeness, while others, particularly sauvignon and friulano, stood out for above average aromatic intensity. The wines have higher than usual pH, moderate sugar content, well-balanced acid structure and a composition rich in aromatic compounds.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tercic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tercic-Scheda-FRIULANO-2017-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"eltdf-btn eltdf-btn-medium eltdf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-btn-text\">DATA SHEET 2017<\/span>\n    <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><h5 class=\"eltdf-accordion-title\">\n    <span class=\"eltdf-accordion-mark\">\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_plus icon_plus\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_minus icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"eltdf-tab-title\">2016<\/span>\n<\/h5>\n<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content\">\n\t<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content-inner\">\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Despite a winter that can be considered out of the ordinary, given the deficit in rainfall and the many days of the bora wind, the vegetative awakening of the vine, the weeping, and subsequent budding occurred during periods that almost fall within the norm for the Collio area. A sudden change was triggered by the particular climatic conditions of April and May, where a rainfall restored the water deficit situation in the vineyards, without causing particular problems with downy mildew infections. However, the alternation of low and high temperatures created irregular growth of the shoots and interfered with the regular progress of the flowering phase, resulting in a delay compared to the average. This delay was eliminated with the sudden rise in temperatures from mid-June onwards; the succession of several North African anticyclones generated a hot and dry period, especially during the veraison period and almost until harvest.<\/p>\n<p>The high temperatures that characterized almost the entire month of August caused excessive evapotranspiration and, in some cases, water stress in the hilltops exposed to the south. Harvest began in the first week of September with grapes that were decidedly healthy and extended over a long period.<\/p>\n<p>The rains at the end of August and the sudden nighttime temperature drop have certainly improved the aromatic profile of the grapes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tercic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tercic-Scheda-FRIULANO-2016-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"eltdf-btn eltdf-btn-medium eltdf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-btn-text\">DATA SHEET 2016<\/span>\n    <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><h5 class=\"eltdf-accordion-title\">\n    <span class=\"eltdf-accordion-mark\">\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_plus icon_plus\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_minus icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"eltdf-tab-title\">2015<\/span>\n<\/h5>\n<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content\">\n\t<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content-inner\">\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Winter 2015 was characterized by above-average temperatures. After two dry months, normal rainfall was recorded in March. The season began with budding in line with historical averages, although April, which was quite dry with temperatures lower than normal, led to a regular flowering at the end of May with a high fruit set. During the months of June and July, the continuation of good weather interspersed with brief precipitation greatly benefited the phenological development of the plant. Veraison began from July 18th for early varieties (Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon) and concluded with late varieties on August 8th. A strong and pronounced temperature fluctuation in August allowed for an ideal ripening of the grapes, which appeared ready for harvest from the early days of September. The 2015 vintage will be remembered as a good, consistent year, with healthy and aromatically ripe grapes. The wines exhibit good balance and strong varietal recognition with a propensity for longevity.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tercic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tercic-Scheda-FRIULANO-2015-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"eltdf-btn eltdf-btn-medium eltdf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-btn-text\">DATA SHEET 2015<\/span>\n    <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><h5 class=\"eltdf-accordion-title\">\n    <span class=\"eltdf-accordion-mark\">\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_plus icon_plus\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"eltdf_icon_minus icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"eltdf-tab-title\">2014<\/span>\n<\/h5>\n<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content\">\n\t<div class=\"eltdf-accordion-content-inner\">\n\t\t[vc_column_text]The 2014 vintage was one of the most challenging to manage in the last quarter-century in Friuli. After a first part of the summer as hot as it was humid and rainy, copious precipitation accompanied by below-average seasonal temperatures in August and September created significant problems both from a health perspective and in achieving perfect grape ripeness. However, in our area, much more than in other wine-growing areas in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the number of wines worthy of the highest consideration is not few (particularly Friulano, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon and white blends). The constant ventilation enjoyed by the hills and a good part of the plain, the steep slope of some vineyards, the increase in manpower, and the determination to produce quality wines may have played a decisive role in the final results. The wines present themselves as fresh, elegant, and with the passing of years, they may even surprise us.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tercic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tercic-Scheda-FRIULANO-2014-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"eltdf-btn eltdf-btn-medium eltdf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-btn-text\">DATA SHEET 2014<\/span>\n    <\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;
