The year started with extremely dry weather and warm daytime
temperatures. By March, the water table was partially restored due to snow and
rainfall in the mountains. Budbreak began on March 25th and the following two
months saw a succession of gentle rainfall as well as very severe hailstorms that
our vineyards luckily avoided. After a progressive flowering, warm weather settled
in early June and lasted through the summer. Once September came around,
the temperature dropped, resulting in ideal conditions for the Nebbiolo harvest.
Picking started on August 16th and was completed by October 14th.
2022 was a great reminder of how beautifully resilient vines are, and resulted in
low yields yet vibrant, flavorful and juicy wines.
