Campo ai Sassi 2021 Rosso di Montalcino DOC Campo ai Sassi Rosso di Montalcino presents the typical characteristics of Sangiovese grown in this area, in a youthfully disengaged version. The deep soils on which these vineyards are cultivated contribute to perfumed and elegant wines with a light and delicate tannic texture.
Climatic trend The 2021 season will be remembered as a dynamic vintage. After a rainy and mild winter, which had led to a slight advance in budding, temperatures dropped sharply at the beginning of April, slightly slowing the growth of the buds. From May onwards, temperatures began to rise again, leading to a summer that will be remembered for both the beautiful day-night temperature range and the long period of intense heat. The grapes presented themselves at harvest in a perfect state of health, thanks to the mild temperatures and low humidity.
Technical notes Varietal: Sangiovese Alcoholic grade: 13.5%. Maturation: in oak barrels Vinification and maturation Once harvested, the Sangiovese grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. During this phase, cap breaking was of fundamental importance, allowing perfect extraction of the polyphenolic substances. Subsequently, the wine spent a period of maturation in the cellar, part of it in wood. Further time in bottle completed its qualitative course before release for consumption.
Tasting notes Campo ai sassi 2021 has a wonderful ruby red colour. The bouquet is mainly characterised by fruity fruity and floral notes. Among the fruity notes stand out the currant and morello cherry, among the floral ones certainly the violet. In the mouth it is fresh, soft and persuasive. The tannin is soft. The persistence is pleasantly long.
