Description
Rosso di Montepulciano is the youngest red wine in our production. Most of the grapes come from the "Martiena" vineyard, an area also suitable for the production of Vino Nobile.

Tasting notes
The wine has a lively ruby red colour and a fresh, fruity aroma. The tannins are of excellent quality: a characteristic which makes it enjoyable from a young age even if its potential exceeds five years of bottle ageing.

Grape varieties
Predominantly Sangiovese, with small quantities of complementary varieties.

Soil characteristics
The soil, tufaceous with the presence of sedimentary rock, brings out the fruity flavour of the wine and makes the Sangiovese very pleasant even when young.
