Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana

This wine is made with Sangiovese grapes highlighting the balanced and harmonious traits of its habitat. The wine shows a sleek medium body, seamless tannins and a distinctive tasting profile. Great for the ‘now’ it reveals an impressive ageing potential.

2019 VINTAGE
2019 was a great year for wine. Warm weather albeit not dry, was the background to a great production in terms of quantity and quality. With just the right amount of rainfall, work in the vineyards never stopped and great attention was placed to the grapes to balance warmth, rain and soil.

TASTING NOTES
In the glass it shows intense garnet red reflections. On the nose aromas of small red fruits, strawberries and currants. Then pomegranate and the unmistakable violet scent of good Sangiovese. In the background a touch of vanilla, sweet spices and liquorice. The palate is well balanced with hints of ripe cherries and plums, supported by precise and elegant tannins. The body is warm and enveloping with a long and persistent finish.

SOIL TYPE
Sedimentary soils of marine origins, calcareous with variable quantities of clay and sand from the Pleistocene (3 million - 120,000 years ago) at Le Capezzine, Lodola and Matracchio, from the Pliocene (3-5 million years ago) at I Poggetti, Le Badelle, Il Greppo, Banditella and El Grasso.

VINE YARD SPECIFICS
Vineyards were planted between 1995 and 2017. The vines are bush-trained, guyot and 
cordon-trained at an altitude of 270 - 375 metres a.s.l. / 885 - 1,230 feet a.s.l. and grow at a density of 2,564 - 7,158 plants / hectare (1,025 - 2,863 plants / acre).

HARVEST
Second half of September

VINIFICATION
20-25 days of maceration at controlled temperature. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out by the yeasts selected from our pied de cuve. Pied de cuve is the first batch of grapes that is harvested in advance to select the yeasts naturally present on the skins. These will become the basic yeast for the fermentation of the grapes, which will be harvested later. This process enhances the link between the wine and its vineyard, thus sealing its sense of place.
