Antinori Cervaro della Sala Chardonnay 2021
Winemaker Notes:
The 2021 growing season started out with cold winter weather and normal spring conditions. The beginning of April, when budbreak was well underway, brought a sudden drop in temperatures resulting in lower yields but fortunately did not have any adverse effects on the quality of the fruit. The vines’ vegetative cycle was pushed back by about two weeks. May saw limited rainfall with cool temperatures. Summer brought bountiful sunshine and good temperature fluctuations between day and night that allowed the vines to make up for the initial delay and provided perfect conditions for optimal cluster ripening. Beautiful weather from August onward allowed for the berries to be picked at just the right time to obtain the finest expression of varietal aromas.
Chardonnay grapes for Cervaro della Sala, exceptional in quality but lower in yields, were harvested starting the third week of August. Grapes were perfectly healthy, at optimal ripeness with excellent freshness and an outstanding aromatic profile. Grechetto berries were harvested 15 days later, towards mid-September.
