Vintage | 2022
In these days the first wines of the dewy vintage 2022 arrive: Several fresh white and rosé wines herald the annual wine change. Among them the ever-popular Lugana, flanked by Chiaretto. These are followed by various white wines from Veneto and Friuli, made from well-known grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and Friulano.
There are isolated price increases due to higher raw material prices and transport costs. These include glass, capsules, labels, cartons and the costs of shipping companies. In addition, there is the low harvest yield, which is far below average in terms of quantity. We are trying to pass on the price increases only partially to our customers.
The overall quality of the 2022 vintage is extremely promising, with regional differences from Lombardy to Sicily. Winemakers throughout Italy are looking forward to this harvest, as it promises to be far better than anyone had hoped. In some cases, perfect and bouquet-rich grapes could be brought into the cellar, which will yield a more intense and structured wine. - Gerardo [TS01/23]
"Italy's winegrowers' associations Assoenologi, UIV and Ismea have presented their harvest forecasts for the 2022 vintage to the Ministry of Agriculture. Accordingly, they expect a satisfactory harvest volume and good to 'surprising' qualities, as reported by Winenews.it magazine." - Vinum
