Vintage 2021
The 2021 vintage will be remembered in Tuscany as a powerful one. Concentration, so the grapes were smaller beautiful, airy. It’s kind of a mix between 2015 and 2020. Where you have on one side the character that we have been developing in the last years, this freshness that is really dominant and on the other side you have the opulence, generosity, a kind of “flesh-ness” in the wine. The season started with a mild and rainy winter which permitted the accumulation of water reserves and an early budbreak. After some cooler temperatures in April, spring continued amicably as May brought enough rain to allow the water supply. Having vineyards in windy regions over 300m in altitude permitted the regular growth of the sprouts in spring and an even maturation in. Moreover, high temperatures and dry weather conditions in August helped the phenolic ripeness. The vines set a beautiful crop assisted by some rainfalls and cooler temperatures in September. The harvest started on September 20th and lasted through October 16th.
