The 2021 vintage was characterized by a mild and dry winter, which favored a
slightly early budding in the first week of April. The mild climate was
interrupted around April 8-9 due to a considerable drop in temperatures,
which led to a slowdown in the growth of the shoots without, however, causing damage to the
plants. The months of May and June, regular and not too hot, allowed the
plants to be brought back to optimal growth levels, ensuring excellent flowering and fruit set. The
summer period continued with temperatures slightly above average and with no
rain, leading to veraison in the last week of July. These conditions were
interrupted in the third week of August, thanks to two very important rains that brought
relief to the plants, rehydrated the soil and favored the start of the grape ripening phase.
September was splendid, sunny and with strong night-time temperature variations that
allowed the grapes to achieve perfect phenolic and aromatic ripening.
TASTING NOTES
It has an intense ruby ??red color. The nose is rich and complex with
notes of ripe black fruits, blackberry and mulberry, juniper and thyme with a sweet note of tobacco to
complete this magnificent bouquet. On the palate it reveals great balance, vibrant,
full-bodied with silky and elegant tannins, the finish is endowed with a beautiful persistence and
freshness.
