2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Production<\/strong>:\u00a0 hl. 265,000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Growing season \u2013 The character of the 2025 Chianti Classico vintage is now becoming more clearly defined. The picture emerging is one of a year benefitted from a surprisingly well-balanced season with no drawn-out heatwaves and well-distributed rainfall. This combination meant that by September, the grapes were in ideal condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A harsh, prolonged winter ensured the vines benefitted from a complete and undisturbed period of rest. Spring followed suit, with stable temperatures, frequent but not excessive rainfall and no late frosts which provided conditions for uniform budding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Summer continued this well-balanced development. Aside from two thermal spikes, one at the end of June and the other after mid-August, the weather was consistent. July was surprisingly mild and breezy, with notable diurnal temperature variation. Good water reserves were therefore retained until version<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even those with concerns about vineyard health were reassured. Spring rains did not cause any critical issues and were managed promptly by the Chianti Classico winegrowers preventing any problems with mould.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the beginning of September, everything pointed to a high-quality vintage, confirmed at a glance by the healthy, uniform bunches of Sangiovese grapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Initial reports from the wineries seem to reinforce these first impressions. The wines are now aging and already present as balancing clear aromatic profiles, well-textured tannins which are present but never overbearing and a freshness which could be the signature of this vintage. As is often the case in Chianti Classico, the potential of this vintage differs slightly from one area to another. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The FEST Project (Future of European Sustainable Taste), funded by the European Union, supports and promotes awareness of European products with protected designation of origin.
