Harvest 2023 by some wineries in the Italian territory.

SUAVIA (VENETO) Valentina Tessari – Oenologist and Co-Owner We expect a definitely different vintage than that of 2022, especially as regards the weather situation. After a very hot year, the weather in 2023 was diametrically opposed due to rain and lower temperatures. A substantial difference that laid the foundations for a vintage particularly suited to white grapes, generous in terms of production and of high quality. We have worked to guarantee a balanced production also for the young vines and we have always managed to take over promptly with prudent phytosanitary interventions, necessary during a rainier season than the previous ones and which has also seen the great problem of flavescence dorée disappear. We remain hopeful for a vintage that could give us great satisfaction, hoping that the veraison and final ripening phase of the grapes takes place in sunny and breezy conditions. As far as the harvest period is concerned, after last year's great advance given by the drought, the 2023 harvest will fall within the canons.

PICCINI 1882 (TOSCANA) Benedetta, Ginevra and Michelangelo Piccini – Piccini 1882 Co-Owners And Representatives Of The Vineyard Generation Project During the spring season, especially in the month of June, abundant rains affected Tuscany, favoring the natural onset of Peronospora, a of the most formidable diseases of the vine. Our team promptly responded with phytosanitary interventions, aimed at countering it and limiting its damage in terms of production. The timely countermeasures allow us to look at the harvest with renewed optimism, albeit with the appropriate distinctions. In coastal Tuscany, where Tenuta Moraia is located, the rainfall regime has settled on much lower levels than inland. In addition, the presence of draining soils has allowed our agronomists to carry out a series of sulfur and copper-based treatments (by virtue of the organic regime) in line with previous years. If the climate does not return to whims, we expect an excellent vintage. At Fattoria di Valiano, in Chianti Classico, on the other hand, the considerable abundance of rainfall favored a greater incidence of the disease, especially in the vineyards below 250 meters above sea level, due to the higher humidity rate. Poggio Teo and San Lazzaro, the vineyards located above this threshold, have in fact reported lower losses than the average in the northern area of Vagliagli. In general, we expect a reduction in grape production of around 30% on a normal harvest in Chianti Classico.

Mario Piccini – Chief Executive Officer Piccini The current year has certainly been a complex and challenging year, in particular as regards the Chianti DOCG denomination, one of our spearheads in Tuscany, which insists on a very vast and heterogeneous area. In these territories, the diversity of soils, microclimates and the different altitudes are giving us a patchy picture, with the northern offshoots having suffered fewer consequences brought about by Peronospora than in the Sienese and Aretino areas; however, having to draw an average, we estimate a drop of about 20% on production. These estimates have shown us that the disease pressure has been much more aggressive in vineyards at altitudes between 150 and 250 meters, while the higher and more ventilated vineyards will have fewer problems in terms of quantity reduction.

LIBRANDI (CALABRIA) Paolo Librandi – Co-Owner The current year is certainly an anomalous year for our area, it was in fact characterized by constant rainfall and humidity as well as lower temperatures than expected. This condition has also led the shoots to remain tender and delicate and the vegetation to suddenly face extreme temperatures. We were therefore able to face and manage the risk of burns by avoiding incisive topping and peeling, precisely in order to protect the bunches. Obviously the humid condition due to the frequent rains has created an ideal environment for the proliferation of pathogens, but our technical staff has managed, with obsessive care of the vineyard, to contain the damage as much as possible, which we have however suffered in order by very few percentage points. The vintage is therefore, in general, difficult to manage. However, the grapes do not present any particular problems at the moment and we expect a good harvest, certainly not particularly abundant but still qualitative.

TORREVILLA WINERY (LOMBARDY) Massimo Barbieri - Chairman We are very confident and for now we expect a positive year. To date we have been lucky enough to be excluded from the heavy downpours of the past few days, both in terms of hail and strong winds and this bodes well for a final stage of maturation that will bring good results in terms of quality and yield. If last year we had to intervene with a decidedly early harvest, this year we expect to return to the canons and we expect the harvest to start not excessively early but not too late either. As Torrevilla Group we are also proceeding successfully with the La Genisia Project, with our agronomists in full swing to monitor the activity of the suppliers and ensure high quality grapes.

COSTARIPA Mattia Vezzola – Owner Although it is very early to be able to make accurate forecasts, with ten days left for the harvest of the chardonnay grapes and thirty days for that of the red grapes, we can say that up to now the Valtenesi area has only been affected to a minimum percentage, between 5 and 12%, from hail meteorological events. This will naturally lead to a slight loss solely on quantity; however, the manual harvest in each vineyard, tradition and trademark of Costaripa, has always allowed us to guarantee an excellent quality of the harvest and the related wines.
