Late, even budburst — the cold hung on at 50–300 m and kept the vines asleep an extra week. I don't mind; slow starts tend to finish right.

Winemaker
A working estate in Soave & Prosecco, Italy — Garganega farmed on volcanic basalt and limestone on the hills, mild continental, humid, hill-tempered. In the Crew model the winemaker stays anonymous until you enroll; until then the platform stands behind the data, the track record, and the samples. You meet them, and see the name, when you commit.
The history.
My family didn't set out to make fine wine; they set out to use the land they had. Soave & Prosecco at 50–300 m, volcanic basalt and limestone on the hills, and a cellar dug into the hill.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Late budburst this year — mild continental, humid, hill-tempered kept the vines asleep an extra week. I don't mind. Fruit that comes in slow tends to come in right.”
— the winemaker, updated this month
Philosophy.
Whole bunches when the stems are ripe, destemmed when they're not. Native ferment, long and slow. mild continental, humid, hill-tempered does most of the shaping — restraint does the rest.

Finished pruning the home block today. My hands are reminding me how many cuts that is. The oldest vines on volcanic basalt and limestone on the hills get pruned last, by me, every year.

Reservoir check came back lower than I'd like. We'll dry-farm the old vines and water only the young ones. Less wine, but the right wine.
