HARVEST DIARY 2022 | SAN POLO 3 2 HARVEST DIARY 2022 | SAN POLO Even this harvest has come to an end in the best possible way and, with the vinifications proceeding in the cellar, we begin to take stock of this vintage. The word that characterizes the season that has just ended is certainly awareness. It is the harvest of awareness because we have realized once and for all that the climate is not only changing, but for a good part it has already changed, and we see its effects on our vineyards every day. We are also aware that the changes will continue, and that the biggest challenge we will have to face in the coming years will be the adaptation of viticultural practices to the new climate scenario, which challenges us with new problems that require innovative solutions. However, awareness also concerns the fact that the vines, despite a season that was by far the hottest and driest in recent The winemaker’s view Riccardo Fratton Enologist years, have been able to resist and adapt, managing to give us ripe and balanced bunches, with a beautiful concentration coming from the heat of the vintage but also with excellent levels of acidity. The first tastings reveal wines of character, which denote structure but also verticality, and which we are convinced will be able to amaze us in the years to come. This is the greatest awareness that the 2022 vintage leaves us, that the union between the resilience of the vine, the vocation of the terroir and the daily commitment to caring for the vineyard gives us the tools to face and overcome the challenges imposed by climate change, to continue produce great wines that express the vocation of this fantastic territory.
