Vintage 2021

THE VINTAGE

After a cold and snowy winter, the month of March with its mild temperatures was the background to the regular vegetative recovery. In April, the return of cold temperatures, with late frosts with mild and limited effects, did not affect Nebbiolo, a variety with early development potentially exposed.

The summer of good weather and temperatures without excesses lasted until the second half of September when the significant temperature differences between night and day created the ideal conditions for the optimal phenolic maturation of Nebbiolo da Barbaresco.

At the beginning of October the bunches had a very rich poly phenolic content, essential to produce structured and balanced wines, destined to last in time.

THE WINE

Barbaresco 2021 is a wine of high fullness and consolidated harmonies, with vibrant aromas declined on floral and fruity notes and a powerful and complex structure that will find in the evolution of the next years the perfect elegance. The longevity of the vintage is decidedly remarkable, offering deep analogies with 2020 and 2019.

In 2021 the wine-growing potential was able to count on 812 hectares of vineyards, with over 5 million bottles (5,165,461) of actual production.
