2001 Antinori Classico Secco 'Campogrande'

Antinori has produced an Orvieto since 1922 and an Orvieto Classico since 1932. With the 1988 vintage, this wine was given the name ’Campogrande’.

The beginning of spring saw a good amount of rain and slighty higher temperatures than the seasonal average, which favored a slight anticipation of the budding phase. In the following period, average temperatures and rainfall led to excellent flowering and vegetative cycle. Rains at the beginning of summer maintained a good plant growth equilibrium which lasted throughout the month of August. Notwithstanding the high day temperatures, nights were cool and assured the full ripening of all grape varieties. As a result, the ripening of the grapes proceeded optimally, guaranteeing the presumption of an excellent harvest.

Tasting Note: Brilliant, pale straw color; on the nose, intensely fruity and elegant, in the mouth full, soft and harmonious.
Alc/Vol: 12.5%
