2021 Frescobaldi

Tenuta Calimaia 2021 marks the historic Frescobaldi family’s return to Montepulciano, in one of the areas traditionally best suited to producing Vino Nobile. The estate lies in the hills between Val di Chiana and Val d’Orcia, in the Cervognano area. The vineyards surround the Monteliscione hill at around 300 metres above sea level. The soils, of Pliocene origin and characterised by a significant clay content, are particularly well suited to growing Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, and contribute to the wine’s structure, tannic character and ageing potential. The 2021 vintage is made from 90% Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile) and 10% complementary red grape varieties. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, with spontaneous fermentation. The wine is then aged for 24 months in 50 hl oak casks, followed by a further 4 months of bottle ageing. In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red colour. The bouquet is predominantly fruity, with elegant notes of sour cherry, redcurrant, cherry and raspberry, complemented by aromatic herbs and spicy hints of pepper, cloves and cardamom. On the palate, it is full-bodied, fresh and balanced, with a pronounced tannic structure and a long aromatic finish. Lot of 6 bottles, 0.75 L each, as shown in the photographs. Labels, capsules and fill levels are as shown in the photos. Bottles have been carefully stored. The photographs form an integral part of the lot description.
