VINTAGE

2025

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: Pinot Nero
  • yield: 65 hl/hectare
  • altitude: 350 – 450 m
  • soil: calcareous clay and gravelly soils

Winemaking

The grapes for this wine are harvested by hand and delivered in small bins. Maceration is carried out at controlled temperature (26 ° C) with daily pump-overs and submersion of the cap to increase the level of extraction from the grape skins. The wine ferments and ages in a combination of French barriques, oak casks and stainless-steel vats for at least 6 months. 

tasting notes

Pinot Noir is ruby in color with light garnet hues. 

Its seducing scent recalls forest fruits, plums, raspberries and cherries and it is characterised by a juicy and fruit.

It is velvety soft and a fresh acidity on the palate is framed by fine-grained tannins and a slight hint of floral notes.
