Vineyards and winemaking: the essence of Montepulciano

In the mouth, the wine is powerful but balanced, with a well-integrated tannic structure that blends harmoniously with the alcohol and sugars. The aging in wood for 30 months and a further 24 months in the bottle enriches the flavor profile of the wine, promising excellent aging capacity.
