vintage description

After a mild winter, flowering was early and abundant. The summer brought extreme climatic variations: a hot, almost sweltering June was followed by a cool and rainy July. Very high temperatures in August then accelerated the ripening process. Almost everywhere, the harvest began much earlier than usual and was short, intense and demanding. Thanks to our members’ small plots, their great flexibility and careful manual harvesting, it was possible to pick high-quality grapes with the utmost precision. The red wines of the 2025 vintage are juicy and fresh, some with great potential for development, particularly the Pinot Noir. The white wines are lighter than in previous years, with less alcohol, more acidity and a fresh, fruity style.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

  • grapes: Lagrein
  • yield: 75 hl/Hectare
  • altitude: 250 – 400 m
  • soil: calcareous clay and gravelly soils

winemaking

The grapes are de-stemmed and undergo both primary and malolactic fermentation at controlled temperature (28-30° C) in steel and cement tanks. The wine has then aged in both cement and oak casks of varying size for at least 6 months.
