\nThe 2021 vintage can be considered one of the best vintages in recent years, creating a structured yet elegant Sangiovese with perfect balance.
\nA rainy springtime with low temperatures allowed good vegetative development of the vines and provided a water reserve for the summer.
\nRegarding the health of the vines, there was no pressure from fungal diseases.
\nThe summer was dry with sporadic rain in August, fortunately the water reserves accumulated in spring protected the plants from water stress.
\nTemperatures were quite high during the day but dropped significantly at night.
\nThis temperature range led to balanced ripening and a perfect harvest.<\/p>\n
