About the Vineyard
In general terms the 2022 season began with a significant water deficit, followed by a complex spring, where precision management in control of fungal diseases due to the water fallen in spring was essential.

This harvest leaves us expressive white wines in the fruit of a lot of character as well as red, deep wines with potential for aging.
