The 2022 vintage will be remembered as the hottest of the last decades: the joint result of natural transformation, the influence of man and his scarce attention to the surrounding environment. Every year at Argentiera, since the beginning of the new century, we have been committed to reducing the effects of increasing temperatures and irregular rainfall by working on enhancing the plants’ ability to skillfully handle water stress and by making use of the vine’s natural ability to adapt to different climates. Management of the soil, fertilization, greenery and micro-irrigation allowed to harvest perfectly healthy grapes that have not suffered from wilting, thanks to the rainfall in mid-August (a total of 42 mm).
