Tenuta di Nozzole La Forra Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 750 ML

The year began with very little rain and moderate temperatures. Precipitation continued to be scarce through the spring. May consisted of cooler temperatures, which rose steadily throughout the month. The vines showed excellent vegetative conditions. Precipitation continued to be scarce in June. The maximum temperatures were above 86°F, but then fell sharply in the last five days of the month, when the only significant rainfall of the month occurred. The rather cool nights of July partly offset the water shortage. In August little rain was concentrated around the 13th, with a total of about 0.4 inches. Temperatures were high, especially in the first part of the month. The temperature range allowed adequate ripening, with good pigmentation of the skins, concentrating the aromas and dry extract, which are ideal characteristics for the production of high-quality grapes. Moderate temperatures and rainfall in day/night temperature differences remained significant. These conditions, combined with good ventilation, allowed the harvesting of healthy grapes with important organoleptic characteristics.
