Super-hot weather doesn’t scare Roero Arneis: harvest completed. Mission accomplished, despite the stresses of a vintage subjected to the constant vagaries of the weather.
Rain saves the 2023 season after a scorching August. Anticipated under sunny weather the Pinot Noir harvest. But now, weather finally cooler again: ideal for completing ripening of reds, Barbera and Nebbiolo, while Arneis is just ready to be harvested.
Pinot Noir in amphora: an early harvest is announced for mid-August. Record season and great promise: at Bricco Medica (Priocca) bunches yet ready to be harvested and pressed in midsummer.
Biodynamics and climate change: lesson in the winery. Among the Marchisio amphorae, the Cia Piemonte course with agronomist and climatologist: how to deal in the vineyard with the adversities of weather gone mad. Students: young Piedmontese winemakers.
When the vineyard blooms: 2023, a finally perfect spring. Inflorescences between the rows not before mid-May. Sergio Marchisio: Are we returning to a less abnormal seasonal climate, not so hot anymore?
Too little rainfall: drought nightmare already looming over the 2023 grape harvest. Fabio Marchisio: «It must rain for a month in a row, in the Roero there are also insufficient water sources for emergency irrigation of the vineyards».
Wine production and drought: scorching, dry summers. Marchisio’s: yes, need to gear up for irrigation. Green and amphora help: cooler wines.
Snow on Marchisio Family vineyards in Castellinando. Whitewashed rows, after dry months: still not enough, but the snowfall helps make up for the water stress suffered by the rows last summer.
Vineyard pruning in the winter period: an art that allows vines to be reborn. Ivo Marchisio: special care intended for each individual plant.
Good harvest of red wines, more suffered harvest of whites. Overall, a vintage that will be remembered.
