Vintage 2021

In August the total rainfall amounted was 26 mm, although some areas of the territory received up to 150 mm of water, concentrated in two events. This shows the variability of Montalcino and its microclimates. As far as temperatures are concerned, we had values of 39°C, concentrated between the 11th and 16th of August. On these dates, we also had an increase in minimum temperatures, which changed the vegetative balance, with the foliage and grapes beginning to suffer in some areas. The month of September had the lowest rainfall of the year, at 1.5 mm, with four days with maximum temperatures of >30°C, but with significant temperature fluctuations. Despite the lack of rainfall, this allowed the leaves to maintain an acceptable color and had a positive effect on the grapes and their aromatic components. October recorded an accumulated rainfall of 12.8 mm, with minimum temperatures of <7°C between the 9th and 14th of the month, improving the ripening of the grapes (in the later-ripening areas of the territory) with fluctuations in temperature of up to 15 degrees.
