The 2022 growing season in Bolgheri was afflicted by drought conditions from the end of winter throughout most of summer. These climatic conditions triggered early budbreak and the following phenological phases of flowering, fruit set and veraison took place ahead of schedule. Overall, summer temperatures were hot. A series of summer storms moved across the area providing beneficial moisture for the grapes most critical ripening period. At harvest time, the fruit was perfectly healthy with a good balance between sugar levels and acidity and presented an outstanding aromatic expression.

About the region

Tuscany

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
