2025 VINTAGE

WINTER : Warm and wet enough to allow the soil to rehydrate properly

SPRING : A changeable season, marked by alternating mild conditions and wetter spells, demanding close attention in the vineyard to maintain the vines’ health and balance.

SUMMER : Conditions proved highly favourable for ripening. The interplay of sunny days and cooler nights ensured a gradual, even development of maturity, while retaining vibrant natural acidity.

TASTING

The nose is particularly expressive, blending notes of citrus, white fruit, and white flowers.

On the palate, the attack is driven by a lovely tension that gives the wine structure throughout the tasting. The texture is both precise and elegant, offering a beautiful balance between freshness, aromatic vibrancy, and volume on the mid-palate.

The long, saline finish highlights the purity of the fruit and the energy of the vintage.

TECHNICAL

Small berries resulting from naturally moderate yields and gradual ripening.

Cold pre-fermentation maceration and low-temperature fermentation in barrels: to preserve aromatic purity and fruit expression.

Malolactic fermentation is not carried out to preserve the wine’s liveliness.

Stirring on fine lees to develop structure in the mid-palate.
