The 2021 season showed a positive climate trend, with little rainfall concentrated in January and February and particularly low minimum temperatures. After budding began at the end of March, the cold air of the first days of April slowed down its development. The summer temperatures of June favoured flowering, which continued until mid-month. Veraison took place at the end of July, with ripening accelerated by low rainfall between August and September. The harvest produced excellent grapes, giving the 2021 vintage intense colours, aromas of ripe fruit and a balanced tannic structure.

Vinification and ageing: The Sangiovese grapes are hand-picked from a single vineyard, vinified in steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 25 days. Maceration on the skins allowed for perfect extraction of the polyphenols, assisted by frequent pumping over in the initial stages of fermentation. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel before the wine is racked in wood. Aged for 24 months in 50 hl French oak barrels and 1 year in the bottle.
