Eco di Mare

The Vermentino vineyards flourish in the aeolian red sands of Donoratico, in perfect synergy with the long rows of lofty, shade-giving maritime pines that lead to Argentiera.

The 2024 vintage was a challenging one, marked by a rainy spring and intense heat at the end of July. This year, more than ever, the timeliness of our decisions and the adaptability of our terroirs proved essential in bringing out the full potential of the grapes.
A mild, rainy winter (550 mm of rainfall up to April) encouraged early budding, while the spring rains slowed down the vegetative cycle. The May flowering ensured well‑aerated clusters and an even ripening.
After a rainy May and an unsettled June, a dry spell (from June 13 to September 8) induced moderate water stress, more noticeable in mid‑August. The 80 mm of rain in early September rehydrated the vines without affecting their health, and the fair weather between September 10 and 22 allowed the grapes to reach optimal ripeness.
