Sassicaia 2011 Magnum

The climate trend in 2011 was truly exceptional for Bolgheri. It can be considered one of the best vintages since the year 2000. The winter was cold, with temperatures below the seasonal average, especially in November and January. The Spring started early with mild temperatures and an excellent water supply due to gradual windless rainfalls. This led to a great vegetative growth of vines. The summer was long and hot with temperatures in the seasonal averages, except in July when it was warmer. Thanks to sufficient temperature excursions between night and day, due to the proximity of the sea, the plants didn’t suffer and the grapes were not overly mature.
