The 2024 season marked the return of significant rainfall following two years of low precipitation. From April through late June, weather conditions were defined by frequent rain and unseasonably mild temperatures. This helped replenish soil water reserves and encouraged vigorous vegetative growth across vineyard sites. Thanks to effective vineyard management, fungal diseases - typically a concern during wetter periods - were kept under control and did not impact vine health. July and August brought moderate, steady temperatures, supporting balanced grape development. A brief spell of rain in early September, just ahead of harvest, had no adverse effects on grape quality. Harvest began in the third week of September with Dolcetto d’Alba, followed by Arneis and Barbera d’Alba. It concluded in the first half of October with Nebbiolo. The late harvest allowed for optimal ripeness, particularly in well-exposed vineyards that were less affected by the vintage.

The 2023 vintage was a challenging one, requiring careful vineyard management to contend with extreme weather. A mild, wet winter led to early budbreak in March, followed by a sudden cold spell in April that caused frost damage. Spring brought average rainfall, with a burst of intense rain from late May to early June that replenished soil moisture and supported vine growth. June and July experienced warm, dry conditions, with steady sunlight aiding fruit set and berry development. In mid-July, violent hailstorms swept across northern Italy, causing varying damage across vineyard sites and reducing crop yields. August and September experienced warm days, cool nights, and minimal rain, promoting excellent grape development. Harvest began in mid-September with Dolcetto and Arneis, extending into late October for Nebbiolo. While yields were below average due to weather challenges, fruit quality was high, with the wines display excellent balance, vibrant acidity, refined tannins and excellent aging potential.
