Frequently Asked Questions
The 2021 vintage from Chianti Classico will be remembered for a long, slow-paced season: a vintage that promises power and finesse. Temperatures during the winter months were not excessively cold and were accompanied by rain showers until the end of March. The beginning of spring triggered early bud break, but April's cool, dry weather slowed the vines' vegetative cycle. May and June followed standard weather patterns, not too hot, with scattered precipitation that guaranteed excellent flowering and fruit sets of all grape varieties in Tenuta Tignanello's vineyards. Overall, summer was hot and dry, especially during August,t but towards the end of the month, occasional rainfall provided ideal conditions for the vines to begin the ripening phase. September and October were picture perfect: sunny skies, no heat spikes, refreshing breeze, es and cool nighttime temperatures that allowed the grapes to progress to peak ripeness gradually. Overall, the 2021 vintage is considered one of the best vintages ever. Harvesting operations began during the last half of September for Sangiovese and were completed on October 20th with Cabernet.
