A very successful vintage for Umbria. It started with a dry season with the exception of December, followed by a moderately cold period in March. This cold snap delayed bud break on the vines. Hot summers are common in Umbria, and 2022 was no exception. July and August saw particularly high temperatures. However, the cooler spring may have helped mitigate some of the effects of the heat.
