This year’s harvest at Belguardo began with early budbreak and flowering, followed by steady vegetative growth supported by abundant spring rainfall. The summer brought two heat waves, one at the end of June and another around mid-August, followed by beneficial rains at the end of August (95 mm) that helped the vines recover and guided the grapes toward full ripeness—especially the red varieties, which achieved excellent aromatic expression and phenolic balance.
Harvesting began on August 23rd with Ciliegiolo, followed by Vermentino and Grenache. After a brief pause due to rain on August 30th, the harvest resumed in early September with Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and—starting September 4th—Sangiovese. Mid-month marked the picking of the Vermentino destined for Belguardo V.
The Cabernet Sauvignon was brought in between September 15th and 25th, concluding with the grapes dedicated to Tenuta Belguardo.
The grapes show an excellent balance of sugar, acidity, and aromas—making 2025 a particularly promising vintage, especially for the red wines.
