The 2021 vintage was characterized by a generally cold winter and a generally regular spring. At the beginning of April, with budding already underway, a sudden drop in temperatures caused a reduction in production, without in any way affecting the future quality of the grapes, as well as a vegetative delay of about two weeks. A slightly rainy but at the same time cool May and a summer with sunny days, characterized by a good temperature range between day and night, allowed the vines to recover the accumulated delay and to guarantee the correct ripening of the bunches. The good weather starting in August allowed us to carefully select the best grapes, choosing the moment of harvest in order to seek the maximum expression of the varietal aromas. The harvest of Chardonnay for Cervaro della Sala, to be considered of exceptional quality but characterized by a reduced production, began during the third week of August with healthy, ripe grapes characterized by excellent freshness and an excellent aromatic profile. The Grechetto harvest took place after about fifteen days, towards the middle of September.
