The Viale dei Pini, once the Viale Serristori, is a legacy landscape of inestimable beauty, custodian of the Vermentino vineyards. The maratime pine symbolises generosity and gentleness, thanks to its ability to respect the flowers and plants that flourish in its shade.

2022 Growing Season
The 2022 growing year will be remembered as the hottest in recent decades, one that required enormous efforts to cope with higher temperatures and irregular rainfall, specifically assisting the vines to respond to stress in a balanced manner and to use their natural resources to adapt to different climates.
Careful management of soil, fertilisation, canopies, and micro-irrigation combined to allow us to harvest grapes that were perfectly sound with no signs of drying, partially helped by 42mm of rain in mid-August.

2022 Harvest Notes
Harvest officially started on 25 August, about a week earlier than the historic norm at Argentiera. First to be picked was Vermentino, grown in the vineyards nearest to Viale Dei Pini and dedicated to production of Eco di Mare.
This grape, like all the others, coped well with an extremely challenging season, which infused the grapes with a diversity of characteristics: richness and concentration, but exceptional acidities and classic varietal fidelity as well.
Vermentino is the sound of the waves, repetitively, endlessly calming the senses, enclosed in a bottle of wine. It is the quiet between two poles, crisp acidity and silky smoothness, a gift for summertime evening relaxation. The relief gifted by the crisp, straightforward sip that summons up a memory of the sea, of hearing its waves in that spiral conch. And it is suddenly a dawn, the sky, a sunset in the Viale dei Pini.
