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.
