Vintage report
Sicily's 2022 vintage arrived with a fascinating contradiction: drought conditions that would normally spell disaster, yet somehow produced wines of remarkable freshness and precision. The island's volcanic soils and high-altitude vineyards proved their worth, retaining just enough moisture to keep vines healthy whilst concentrating flavours beautifully. Harvest came early across most zones, with growers picking under crisp morning skies before the heat built up.
What emerged from the cellars has surprised us all. The Nero d'Avola shows a taut, mineral backbone we rarely see from this variety, whilst Etna's Nerello Mascalese has that perfect balance of red fruit brightness and smoky volcanic grip that makes the variety so compelling. These aren't wines that need years in the cellar to find their voice - they're singing now, with enough structure to reward patience if you fancy laying some down until 2030 or beyond.
