Tasting notes
Medium ruby red with purple highlights. Finely fragrant, almost seductive, on the nose. Fruity and fine roasted aromas. Ripe, black cherries, blackberries, plums. This is accompanied by subtle notes of liquorice. Taut, juicy and perfectly structured on the palate. Grandiosity par excellence. The aromas of the nose are confirmed by the flavours on the palate. Fine texture, tannins of very good quality. The finish is lively and of good aromatic length.

Details
A refreshingly honest Rosso di Montepulciano. Nose of raspberries and sour cherries, juicy and crisp on the palate with fine Sangiovese spices.
Recommendations
This all-rounder needs no instruction manual: enjoy with pizza and pasta, salami and mortadella as well as antipasti of all kinds.
Vinification
After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a maceration lasting two weeks in large wooden vats. Six months of ageing then takes place in stainless steel tanks followed by another three months in large wooden barrels. The discreet scent of wood on the nose lends the wine an additional spicy component. The palate is also somewhat rounder and fuller.
