The 2022 was rather warm, but autumn brought abundant rains with above-normal temperatures, which dropped significantly from the end of November and throughout December, causing a vegetative standstill of the plants and the natural elimination of pests. The winter was rainy, and, from the end of February, temperatures rose rapidly causing conditions of high humidity. This was followed by an unusual March, with mild temperatures and no rain but, from the end of April the temperatures turned above the seasonal average, with sultry heat. This situation, in the delicate moment of flowering and fruit setting, has led to strong selection and, consequently, a reduced production. The summer was warm, above seasonal average, and dry, however, the pedoclimatic character of the area (proximity to the sea, strong ventilation, and the temperature range between night and day) determined the excellent quality of grapes. The difference between the hills and the plain (where the situation was rather difficult), was clear. At the end of August, temperatures dropped. The 2022 vintage was rather challenging, and not especially generous in quantity, but the grapes from the hillside vineyards were excellent with great balance of total acidity and not excessive alcohol content. Le Difese 2022 shows a beautiful intensity of fruit, softness, and pleasantness of well-integrated tannins.
