CLIMATE: The 2021 vintage began with excellent climatic conditions and water resources for the summer.
In April there was an anomalous and late frost which affected the quantity of the grapes, but then the spring was balanced, with the right rainfall alternating with days of intense sunshine.
After a rather hot summer, in the second fortnight of August there were 2 rainy events that gave breath and water reserves to the grapes for a balanced ripening.
The low quantity had a positive effect on the quality of the grapes that arrived at the harvest with a perfect degree of ripeness, a concentration of polyphenols and an excellent component of finesse.
The aromas are intense and the tannins elegant. As often happens when the climatic conditions are difficult, the human factor is essential, and the attention in the vineyard is reflected in the products obtained.
The 2021 vintage will be characterized over time by the balance of the wines and their predisposition to aging.

DESCRIPTION: this wine is very respectful of the vintage and clearly recalls the typicality of Sangiovese di Montalcino. In fact, the notes of ripe fruit and flowers (such as violet) interface with the savory sensations in a perfect balance; the tannins are smooth and pleasantly accompany the length of the finish.
GASTRONOMIC ACCOMPANIMENTS: it goes well with dressed pork products, mature cheeses and fairly strong-flavoured main dishes
The organic Camigliano 2021 Rosso di Montalcino (with 30,000 bottles released) offers hot-vintage aromas of ripe fruit, dried cherry, licorice and black olive. The effect is on the heavy side. You taste the grape skins, and the wine reveals a raw and authentic side to Sangiovese. It finishes with crispness and hints of spice.

Drinking Window
2024 - 2027
Dusty rose, peppery herbs and wild strawberry form a spicy bouquet as the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino opens in the glass. Soft and with a pretty inner sweetness, this balances tart wild berry fruits and saline mineral tones over a core of brisk acidity. The 2021 leaves a tart tinge that puckers the cheeks as sage and lavender notes slowly fade.
