Origin |
Upper Valpolicella vineyards. The Saline vineyard is located in the north-eastern part of the municipality of Negrar between 700 and 720 m a.s.l. with south-west exposure |
Climate |
Spring 2023 was characterised overall by rainfall that was in line with historical values and slightly higher temperatures. The vegetative resumption was early compared to the previous year, but temperature drops due to the unstable spring-summer weather led to a complete reabsorption of the phenological advance, resulting in a slight delay compared to the previous year. The 2023 summer season recorded average rainfall amounts and in some locations even higher. The summer rains contributed to a luxuriant development of the vegetative part and its fruit. From mid-August onwards, there was an exceptional increase in temperature at all sites, with maximum daytime temperatures of over 30-35 °C. Under these conditions, the vine slowed down its metabolic activity. The harvest in Valpolicella began in the first ten days of September with healthy, uniform and ripe grapes. |
