Thirty-first page of my journal. I'll tell you about our year! An intense year with every sip, fragrant with novelty and full of flavor, like the best of wines. You are my cellar. Thank you!

Exactly one year ago we savored the real winter and began work on expanding the Cru Campiani Est, one of our most significant vineyards. In the cellar, meanwhile, we were evaluating the compositions of the cuvées for the second fermentation and therefore for the refermentation in the bottle.Our ME.GA. Drinkers Club, exactly one year ago, recorded 750 enthusiasts between renewals and new registrations!
FEBRUARY- MARCH
While the buds began to grow, coming back to life, we concluded the pruning of the existing vineyards. A new experiment in the cellar: we anticipated the spring disgorgement by about three weeks so as to increase the contact period with the cork.APRIL
Many ME.GA. drinkers, they come from far away, so we thought: if the drinker doesn't go to the cellar, let's try to bring the cellar to the drinker! And so we organized the first stage of the ME.GA. tour: Rome.We spoke in a wonderful theater, led by our dear friend Gabriele Merlini, about wines, about our life as vignerons, but also about much more, in a continuous exchange of ideas, thoughts and sensations.
may- june
In the vineyard in recent months we had our eyes focused on growing the bunch until its completion. In the cellar however, while we completed the draft, we focused on organizing the ME.GA. Friends event, with our friends Nicolò from Ferdy Wild and Michele from La Dispensa.july
In the vineyard: one of the most delicate moments of an already delicate year in itself. The grapes are in the ripening phase of the bunch and we are waiting for the perfect moment for harvesting.august- september
As the grape harvest nears its end, we can answer the question of the year - what will this vintage be like?On September 3rd there was a big party: MEGAFRIENDS! We felt like we were reaching an even higher level of intimacy and closeness with our community. Bringing enthusiasts to know Gussago and our work more closely, making them literally trample on our land, is like bringing a new friend into the house every time, to the point of becoming a large, close-knit group in which to exchange tastes and advice.
october- NOVEMber
After a dry 2022, the water finally returns while monitoring of the evolution of this vintage has begun in the cellar, which has brought very positive sensations right from the harvest. And then, we prepare for the other event of the year – the second edition of GATTA'S PREMIERE.december
GATTA'S PREMIERE VOL. IIIt was intimate and wonderful to present new wines in a format that had already been successful last year. A meeting that gave depth to the stories we exchanged, to all the sensations of the drinkers present and to the chatter of a group in which new faces and old acquaintances perfectly mixed.
welcome 2024!
After an intense year of work, but also of celebration and emotions, we look to 2024 with the enthusiasm of those who have already created great projects but have not yet tired of creating new ones.
Our sincere feeling of gratitude towards you, rather than being constant over the years, continues to grow, like the number of enthusiasts who follow us on our adventures.
Our "motto" is not random:
YOU ARE MY CELLAR. THANK YOU!
THANKS TO EACH OF YOU!
