Climate
The 2021 vintage from Chianti Classico will be remembered
for a long slow-paced season: a vintage that promises power and
finesse. Temperatures during the winter months were not
excessively cold and were accompanied by rain showers that
lasted up until the end of March. The beginning of spring
triggered early bud break, but cool, dry weather in April slowed
down the vines’ vegetative cycle. May and June followed normal
weather patterns, not too hot with scattered precipitation that
guaranteed excellent flowering and fruit set of all grape
varieties in the Solaia vineyard. Overall, summer was hot and
dry, especially during August but towards the end of the month,
occasional rainfall provided ideal conditions for the vines to
begin the ripening phase. September and October were picture
perfect: sunny skies, no heat spikes, refreshing breezes and
cool nighttime temperatures that allowed the grapes to
gradually progress to peak ripeness. Overall, the 2021 vintage
is considered to be one of the best vintages ever. Harvesting
operations, occurred slightly later than average, began during
the final days of September for Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese
and were completed on October 21st with Cabernet
Sauvignon. Total annual rainfall: 707.8 mm (278.6 inch)
Average temperature April 1st – October 21st: 19.2 °C (66.6
°F) Rainfall April 1st – October 21st: 251.6 mm (99 inch)
