Sorì Tildìn 2021 3x75cl

Barbaresco DOCG

Expressive nose, with hints of lavender, plum, cherry and blackberry; earthy and spicy notes blend with scents of undergrowth and the freshness of mint. In the mouth it is full and voluminous, with hints of sweet licorice, violet and a fruity, full finish. The acidity is lively, the tannins round and fine.

Vineyards

The south/southwestern exposure and its amphitheater shape ensure maximum sunshine.

Vintage

Abundant snowfall and low temperatures led to an unusually severe, rainy winter, followed by a dry spring. Temperatures picked up in mid-March but unfortunately, the cold returned in early April with icy winds. Some vineyards lower in altitude were affected by frost and recorded losses between 30% and 5%. The summer rolled out with hot and dried days alternating with short and frequent gusts of winds that had the effect of lowering the temperatures. Powdery mildew became a real threat in Barbaresco in July and required a lot of attention and focus from our team. After an overall dry season, a redeeming rainfall came in the end of August, refreshing the Barbaresco region. Nebbiolo ripened slowly, helped by a rainfall on September 17 along with a drop in temperatures and a dense fog. The harvest kicked off in Barbaresco on September 21. This relatively dry and cold vintage leaded to a late harvest and paid off with high quality grapes, characterized by smaller berries.
