Vuosikerta 2001
Italy Vintage Report by Tb: In 2001, producers' fears about an early spring came true. New buds that were exposed to the subzero temperatures of April suffered severe damage, which was evident in the small size of the crop. The very hot and dry summer weather brought the vineyards almost to their breaking point, until, just in time, the rains of early September saved the withered crops from mortality. The result was a very ripe and very fruity vintage, dominated by a high concentration of essence, rich color and robust tannins. Overall, Piedmont and Tuscany both produced an excellent, long-lasting vintage. These wines can be aged for decades.
