An embedded Antonio Galloni/Vinous review dated November 2025 reports 2 g/L dosage and a June 2025 disgorgement for the reviewed release, while explicitly noting multiple disgorgements during the year; those bottle/release-specific figures are therefore not generalized into vintage-wide dosage or disgorgement fields.
