Barolo 2022

A Vintage to Discover

There are vintages that follow tradition, and others that challenge it. 2022 undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

In the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco, heat and drought redrew the rhythm of the season—accelerating the pace, concentrating energy, and pushing the vines to react in new ways. It was a vintage unlike any seen before, capable of surprising those who observed it day by day with a mix of apprehension and intuition. Yet, within this very tension, nature found an unexpected balance.

The grapes arrived at the cellar in extraordinary condition: healthy, intact, and luminous. The dry air kept pests and diseases at bay, reducing vineyard interventions to a minimum. The result is a pure, essential, and almost pristine fruit that tells the story of an extreme yet crystal-clear season.

In the glass, the 2022 Nebbiolo speaks with a different voice. Less severe, more open, and welcoming. The fruit is full and ripe, the floral notes become soft and enveloping, while the tannins stretch out without losing their elegance. This isn't the austere classicism of the great cool vintages, but a new form of harmony—more immediate and more sincere.

It is a vintage that asks to be listened to without prejudice. It invites us to set aside expectations to discover a different side of Nebbiolo: more solar, more accessible, yet still deeply rooted in its land.

The 2022 vintage does not impose itself; it reveals itself. And for that very reason, it is a vintage truly worth discovering.
