The Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie grape harvest has commenced across the Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Trento regions. Warm spring and high summer temperatures have accelerated the ripening process, leading to an earlier harvest than usual.

While the phytosanitary state of the vines is reported as good and qualitative prospects remain favorable, environmental factors are creating varied conditions across the 27,000 hectares of vineyards. Specifically, water scarcity has impacted non-irrigated vineyards and loose soils, resulting in faster sugar accumulation. To manage these varying ripening speeds, the Consorzio reports that harvest timing is being individualized by production zone to maintain the wine’s characteristic balance.
