Description of the year 2021

Harmony, precision, and classic elegance. The 2021 vintage clearly expresses the true identity of Sangiovese from Montalcino. The wine shows elegance, precision, and harmony, with fine-grained tannins and well-integrated acidity that provide energy and depth. This Brunello is balanced and fresh, built around clarity of fruit and structure, and it promises a long and graceful evolution over time. A truly classic vintage, combining immediate finesse with remarkable aging potential.

The 2021 growing season was marked by a balanced and favorable climate. Winter was fairly cold, allowing good water reserves to build up in the soil. Spring brought regular bud break, followed by even flowering between late May and early June. Summer was warm but never extreme, with significant day-to-night temperature shifts that encouraged slow, complete ripening. September offered ideal conditions, leading to healthy, well-balanced grapes harvested in the first days of October.

Grape: 100% Sangiovese

Harvest: the slightly late harvest of these grapes results in a very fruity wine with significant body. The grapes are harvested by hand.

Vinification: in the cantina, after a light pressing of the bunches, fermentation takes place for 25 days in steel vats at controlled temperatures, where the wine is subject to periodic pumping up and dèlastage.

Aging: the wine is refined together with the lees, in vats that have an average capacity of 30-35 hectolitres sothat an optimum equilibrium is achieved. Before being placed on the market the wine undergoes an ulterior 4-month refinement in the bottle.

Characteristics: dark garnet red, with a generous nose, it has aromas of dried flowers, spices, and ripe fruits. It finishes long.

Combinations: A very good accompaniment for game, beef, and seasoned pecorino cheese.
