Brunello di Montalcino 2020
Elegance, balance and aromatic expression from a quite hot weather which gave us a vintage to be enjoyed right now…
Ageing: 33 months in big Slavonian oak barrel of 50 hl, followed by a bottle ageing longer than 4 months.
Weather conditions: Following a mild winter, pretty common event in the last years, at the end of march we had frosts which, thanks to the late pruning practice, didn’t damage still closed gems. A spring with average temperatures and a good distribution of rains allow a regular development of vegetative stages. The pretty hot summer, in particular in July, has been interrupted by few rains. In September the perfect temperature excursion day/night supported aromas collection and day temperatures above the average give us an earlier harvest of one week, obtaining a good quality harvest.
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019
A classic vintage with slow and homogeneous maturation, which gave us healthy and rich grapes. Fullbody, austere and powerful, able to challenge time…
Ageing: 24 months in big French oak barrel of 25 and 10 hl, followed by 12 months bottle ageing.
Weather conditions: After a relatively mild and little rainy winter climate, May showed an important drop in temperatures with abundant rainfall: if on the one hand the vegetative cycle of the vine has slowed down, on the other the rains rebalanced the soil. A hot and dry summer, with no hot peaks, re-established the times and preserve the leaves, intact and efficient, thanks to water reserves as well. A mild September with high temperature excursions between day and night, was fundamental for a slow and homogeneous maturation of the grapes. The harvest postponed to beginning of October, was perfect in terms of quality and quantity.
