Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021 Organic

Colour:  Deep ruby red with violet hues.

Bouquet: Ample, complex and fruity. The typical aromas of cherry and small ripe red fruit in jam are perfectly combined with the spices and toasted notes given by the oak.

Flavour: Good structure, enveloping and full-bodied. The soft and ripe tannins are well balanced by the fresh acidity of Sangiovese. Long-lasting and pleasantly fruity aftertaste. 

Alcohol: 14,5%

Weather conditions: The 2021 season was characterized by important weather events that reduced the production of Sangiovese by about 30% compared to a regular year. In particular, the frost of April 8 when the temperatures drop to -7 C° and the drought that began in June and lasted until the entire period of harvest – with little rainfall- caused the size and weight decrease of the grape. Thanks to the temperature changes from late August till the beginning of September,  the grapes were in perfect health condition and has a remarkable concentration with positive aromatic components achieving a perfect proportion between pulp and skin.

Grapes Sangiovese, locally called "Brunello" (the same variety used in the production of Brunello di Montalcino).

Vinification: Fermentation on grape skins for about 10-12 days at a controlled temperature below 28° in shallow, wide steel tanks (150 hl) in order to gently extract tannins and colour.

Ageing: 12 months in Slavonian oak casks between 75 and 150 hl, followed by refinement in bottle.
