The 2026 vintage
The 2026 vintage was characterized by high temperatures starting as early as May, which continued throughout the summer. Fortunately, the winter rains provided a good water reserve in the soil, allowing the vines to cope with the hottest months without particular water stress. At the same time, the scarcity of spring rainfall limited the pressure of fungal diseases, favoring the development of perfectly healthy grapes.
In a particularly warm and early season, with an advance of approximately 10-12 days compared to the 2025 harvest, it was crucial to intervene promptly to identify the optimal moment for harvesting. The Moscato harvest began on August 17 and resulted in a wine of great structure and complexity.

2025
THE 2025 VINTAGE
After a winter with particularly low rainfall, we had a spring with well-distributed rain that ensured a good water reserve. The weather pattern of the 2025 vintage was very varied, while managing to remain balanced. In general, however, there were no particularly impactful events, apart from the torrid heat in the first half of August (36/38°C) which led to the harvest being brought forward by about 7-8 days compared to last year. The storms of 17/18 August were providential, refreshing the air, lowering night-time temperatures and increasing the temperature range between day and night. The 2025 Moscato harvest began on 26 August, with perfectly healthy grapes, an excellent concentration of terpenic aromas and a good level of acid freshness.
