Vintage notes
2021: The winter in Tuscany brought moderate temperatures and average rainfall. Budbreak came in the last week of March, followed by a sudden return of cold that slowed vine growth. May and June were hot and dry, which let the vines catch up. Ripening was slow and even, and the harvest began in the second week of September.
Label / history
The wine is named after Bindo Bindi, governor of Orvieto in 1400. It comes from Tenuta I Colli, owned by Bindi Sergardi, in the villages of Monteriggioni and Vagliagli in the northern part of the province of Siena. The estate was built in the late 1400s and reflects 23 generations of the Bindi Sergardi family. Bishop Sergardi received the delegation of Emperor Charles V there to negotiate a peaceful settlement for the city of Siena.
