Laura Gatti from Ferghettina
2024 saw a lot of weather that made vineyard management more complex. Quantities are lower because of the rain in May and June. However, our team was able to intervene early and by the time harvest rolled around, we were able to pick grapes that were in excellent health.

Spring rains reduced quantities and caused some minor issues with disease across Puglia. But our grapes grow in the Manduria area, which suffered the least damage in terms of quality and quantities thanks to excellent ventilation. Alternating northern and southern winds favored concentration and health, somewhat reversing the effects of disease left from spring. An excellent vintage for Negroamaro, with higher aromatic and anthocyanin concentrations. Primitivo will also have excellent concentration but fine, if not rare, aromatic elegance.

The 2023 vintage is excellent and we expect great quality wines. We harvested about two weeks early, especially the reds. In terms of quantity, we are down about 15% over last year.
