Passi di Orma 2022
Vintage Notes
Bolgheri and the Tuscan Coast experienced a mild winter as usual, with rainfall and low temperatures, important factors for viticulture as they prepare the vineyards for the spring start. Sprouting occurred in April, urged on by warm temperatures. Plant development was rapid and well balanced. Once the grape clusters were formed, their development began, protected by the leaves that shaded them, creating an optimal microclimate for ripening, which was sharp and successful in both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc a couple of weeks later. This vintage of finesse and elegance enhances a territory and its main characteristics.
