 DESCRIPTION
 The 2021 vintage experienced a fairly consistent seasonal 
progression. 
Spring rains supported healthy vegetative growth and contributed 
to building a vital water reserve, which proved essential in facing 
the drier summer months. The only noteworthy anomaly during 
the spring was a slight variability in shoot development timing. 
This was primarily due to a brief cold spell just after Easter, with 
temperatures dipping below seasonal averages and temporarily 
slowing vegetative growth, particularly in the cooler zones of the 
Chianti 
Classico 
region.
 From a phytosanitary standpoint, the season was notably 
favorable, with no significant pressure from fungal diseases.
 Hot summer that favored a slight overripening and gave aromas 
and structure, without reducing the varietal intake.
 Deep and young mauve red color; complex aroma that recalls 
both the varietal notes of plum and blackberry jam and hints 
derived from aging, such as licorice, vanilla and a hint of leather. 
Excellent structure, soft, well sized; excellent balance; well long in 
the finish.
 Goes perfectly with traditional Tuscan dishes.
