Vintage notes

The 2025 season began normally after a broadly typical winter. A wet start to spring encouraged shoot growth and replenished water reserves. June was dry and ended with above-average heat, while a cooler, dry July supported photosynthesis and brought veraison slightly forward. August was very hot, although vineyard ventilation limited heat damage. Alternating rain and dry, sunny weather from late August through September moderated ripening. The Vermentino harvest started on 2 September.
