Description
The Sorì Tildìn single vineyard is situated on top of a hill in Barbaresco, just aobve Costa Russi. The south/southwestern exposure and its amphitheater shape ensure maximum sunshine. In 2021 harvest the grapes had thin skins, they were rich in aromas and colour, leading to structure wines of significant volume and richness, and sweet tannins.
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.
