Emotions and Discoveries
Meanwhile, many journalists and professionals joined us in the cellar to discover where our wines come to life.
For them, we arranged guided tours, tastings, and light lunches.
The visits were an immersion into our world, allowing us to showcase to all accredited industry professionals and the press the work and passion we put into our wines.
During one of these visits, we involved a journalist in the blending of Sagrantino Magia 2021 with us, making the experience even more special!
Vintage 2020
The 2020 vintage was extraordinary, receiving a score of 96/100 and the coveted 5 stars!
Here are some details about the vintage:
VINEYARD: The 2020 vintage was characterised by a fairly mild and dry winter, followed by an early spring of above-average temperatures. After that however, was a sudden cold snap of particularly low temperatures, with snow in some areas and even frost and hail. There was persistent, heavy rainfall in May and June – delivering an excellent water supply to the vines that helped them withstand the extreme summer heat well. Summer temperatures were significant, particularly those of July. The end of August however, saw a sudden change with a relative fall in average temperatures and the start of a generally cool and humid period. In conclusion, the harvest was fairly late with the dry climate of the end of September gifting one of healthy, perfectly ripe and well-balanced grapes.
WINE CELLAR: The regular year, characterised by a gradual and balanced harvest, particularly for later varieties such as Sagrantino and Trebbiano Spoletino, allowed us to bring the highest quality grapes into the cellar. As well as being high-quality, the quantity was also notable, except from those areas which saw spring frosts and hailstorms. Overall, the wines of the 2020 vintage are alluring: perfected at the level of the pulp and maturity of the fruit, as well as being vibrant and dynamic. Even the perfectly mature tannins appear impeccable, flavourful and of great elegance. A perfect vintage that can draw your attention now but with a push to long-term aging.
A big thank you to all of you who participated and made this event unforgettable.
We look forward to welcoming you to the cellar to share more unique experiences together.
Thank you for your trust and participation.
See you soon, Montioni!
