The 2025 harvest in Barolo is characterized by a highly balanced technical profile, built on a winter with adequate water reserves, a regular spring with slightly early vegetative growth, and a hot summer that was well compensated by timely rainfall and conservative management of the leaf canopy, which prevented water stress and maturation blocks. The Nebbiolo cycle was consistent, with gradual, unforced sugar accumulation, high total acidity, complete seed maturity, and thick skins rich in anthocyanins and tannins, allowing for early harvesting without compromising aromatic complexity.
The overall picture for 2025 is in line with the trend of early ripening seen in the last 10 harvests, thanks to an increase in the heat summation for the months of June and July.
In terms of winemaking, Nebbiolo is producing wines with elegant, soft tannins, which are more immediate and pleasant to drink even in the early years of bottling. The result is wines that are ready to drink sooner.

Selection of the most suitable plots for early harvest to maintain a balanced alcohol content. Manual harvesting in 20 kg crates, with partial destemming (90% destemmed, 10% with stems). Soft pressing in the absence of oxygen, with cooling by dry ice to preserve varietal aromas. This is followed by racking and cold fermentation (10-12 °C) with selected yeasts, for up to 1 month.
Malolactic fermentation is not carried out due to low storage temperatures. Aged in steel for 3-4 months before bottling.
