Vintage 2022
Great reds and astonishing whites - A hot summer yields a “gigantic red wine vintage” and extraordinary whites. The wine experts of Alto Adige agree: 2022 will be a great vintage for full-bodied red wines in particular, which benefited from the exceptionally high temperatures last summer. But white wines, too, are doing surprisingly well in all areas of cultivation, turning out unusually powerful but still fresh and fruity. (Cons. Alto Adige Wine)
