The 2023 vintage was less droughty than the previous one, but more "extreme" in its phenomena. Drought reached alarming levels until late budding (late April) and then temporarily fell back below a guard level thanks to heavy rains in May-June. July gave the start to a new drought phase emphasized by heatstroke that persisted into August. However, the young nebbiolo vineyard overcame these adversities, thanks to shrewd vegetation management. In fact, nebbiolo turned out to be one of the vines that best distinguished itself in this difficult year and best brought good grape ripeness back into the glass
