Vintage 2022
From the vintage reports of the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella
A hot, dry year. Drought tested the vines, but rain in August helped them recover.
Hot, dry and early: the year of drought, managed through careful work on water.
From January to July only 190 mm of rain fell against an average of 450, a deficit of 60%, and May to July were hot. Young vines and vines on light soils suffered water stress, but rain in August helped most of them recover. Veraison came in late July, about two weeks early, and picking began around 5 September. Disease pressure stayed low; local hail fell in August and September.

Veronica e Alice gestiscono una tenuta collinare che la loro famiglia cura da oltre sessant’anni, applicando una filosofia del “zero centimetri”, ogni decisione parte dal suolo sotto i loro piedi. Ogni grappolo viene raccolto a mano; i migliori vengono adagiati in piccole cassette sul pavimento aperto del fruttaio, dove l’aria di montagna asciuga lentamente gli acini destinati all’Amarone e al Recioto.
La cantina stessa è una vecchia cava di tufo scavata nella roccia. La sua naturale coibentazione mantiene costanti temperatura e umidità, permettendo che la fermentazione avvenga a bassa temperatura e in modo pulito in vasche d’acciaio inox, mai oltre i 20 °C. La gravità muove delicatamente mosto e vinacce, preservando gli aromi naturali dell’uva. Dopo un breve riposo in acciaio, i vini affinano in botti di rovere francese di media e grande capacità per un periodo compreso tra uno e dieci anni, acquisendo profondità grazie alla lenta micro-ossigenazione.
Al di sopra della cava, un tetto verde di viti corona la struttura, unendo vigneto e cantina e riducendo l’impatto ambientale. Ispirate dall’esempio dei genitori, Daniela e Tiziano, le sorelle producono vini della Valpolicella che valorizzano i vitigni autoctoni, i pendii ricchi di calcare e una tradizione di pazienza che inizia molto prima della vendemmia e si conclude solo quando si apre una bottiglia.
