chianti classico DOCG 2022
Extreme climatic conditions: persistent drought and heat (from December 2022-August 2023), with few interruptions. Change in weather in mid-August with hailstorms and cloudbursts. Good September. 8 days of torrential rain at the end of September. Some grape losses, very low yields (too hot for too long). Wines surprisingly fresh and fruity at racking, very dark in colour.
