2021 VINTAGE FEATURES
Harvest 2021 welcomes the organic flag also for LE GRILLAIE RISERVA!
It was a very dry harvest, with low yield, and our vineyard management proved to be the right choice: we allow wild grass to grow every two rows and we use green manure to nurture the soil. These two procedures ended up in healthy and juicy grapes that were able to tackle drought and gave wonderful wines.
The juiciness of the berries was preserved also during the long barrel ageing.
This wine expresses the typical features of the Sangiovese variety; it is well structured and balanced. I can bet it will evolve and become even more elegant after storage for a few months.
