Vintage notes
After a winter with typical weather, the 2025 growing season began with budbreak at the customary time. Rain in early spring supported vigorous shoot growth and replenished water reserves. June was dry, ending with unusually high temperatures. A dry but moderately warm July sustained photosynthesis, brought veraison forward and promoted anthocyanin accumulation in the skins. August was extremely hot, but ventilation prevented heat damage. From late August through September, substantial rain alternated with dry, sunny days, protecting the grapes from shrivelling and excessive concentration.
