The 2021 vintage
The 2021 vintage was challenging as it brought a scenario of climatic disruptions. After a mild winter, the spring changed the temperature pattern with a wider thermal amplitude. Then, summer brought an unprecedented climatic event known as an “atmospheric river,” resulting in 68mm of rain in just three days. Following this event, the weather turned consistently cooler. The fall was dry and cold, causing the grapes to mature slowly with less accumulated heat compared to the past four vintages.
