Intense, impenetrable ruby colour. Pervasive and complex smell with nuances of morello cherry, kirsch and ripe blackberry as well as hints of rain-soaked earth, ground coffee, tobacco and liquorice. The wine offers an intense, rounded taste which highlights the structure of the tannins and leads to a lingering, juicy finish.
Details
Variety: Montepulciano (100%)
Production Area: vineyards located in the district of Controguerra.
Altitude: 250m - 300m a.s.l
Soil: medium textured with abundant gravel
Training system: Cordon-trained and spur pruned
Density: 5000 plants per hectare
Harvest: mid-October, hand picked in small cases.
Technique: After destemming, the grapes are conveyed into small stainless steel fermenting tanks which facilitate the delicate breakage and movement of the cap during fermentation. This system assures a greater and more homogeneous contact between must and skins, therefore increasing the extraction of polyphenols. In order to obtain the best results, maceration periods can even exceed 4 weeks. After the fermentation , the wine is placed in large barrels for a 12 month aging.
