Produced not by using the saignée method, but through a short period of maceration, our Rosé comes from our youngest Sangiovese grapes. The wine has a good structure and a surprising ability to age, with vinous notes and a very pleasant floral foundation.

Climate trend

The weather in the vintage 2021 was quite regular. Rains in spring enabled good foliage development. and provided abundant water supplies for the drier summer months. The only phenomenon registered in springtime was a slight alteration in bud development times, owing to lower than averega temperatures for a few days after Easter, which slowed down the process of vegetation in the cooler areas. 

The health of the plants was not threatened by fungal diseases (powdery mildew and leaf blight). The summer was dry with only sporadic rain in August, but the reserves of water accumulated in spring prevented the vines from suffering drought. Summer temperatures were generally within the norm without excessive heatwaves.

From late August, the temperatures remained high during the day but dropped down at night. This high diurnal range allowed to preserve the acidity of the grapes, resulting in a great phenolic ripeness.
