In April 2021, temperatures in Montalcino dropped below zero. The vines, which had already begun to bud, were hit by the frost. What followed was a season of recovery: a rainy spring gave the vines the strength they needed to withstand a long, hot summer. Significant temperature fluctuations between day and night preserved freshness and aromatic precision. The harvest: concentrated, fragrant, healthy. In Montalcino, 2021 is regarded as a classic, elegant vintage. Not the opulence of 2019, nor the concentration of 2020, but balance. 100% Sangiovese, organically grown, spontaneous fermentation, 38 months in large French oak barrels (30 and 54 hectolitres), at least 6 months in bottle.

A clear, brilliant ruby red. The bouquet is fresh and displays great aromatic precision: red fruits, cherry, violets and mineral notes. Elegant and well-balanced on the palate, with fine, well-defined tannins; the acidity provides the unseen backbone, and the finish is long and clean. Very precise. SUPERIORE.DE

"A promising nose of raspberries and dried flowers; a compact texture, combining finesse and fruitiness." Vinum

"Sweet spices, savory plums and dried orange peel. Medium to full body with juicy fruit and bright acidity. The tannins are fine-grained, structured and dissolved. I like the traditional aspect of this." James Suckling

"This is elegant, boasting smoky cherry, strawberry, rose and mineral aromas and flavors. Graceful and balanced, with a lasting impression of ripe fruit. Shows excellent staying power." Wine Spectator
