About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from young vines.

Vinification

The fruit is hand-picked at the end of September and fermented in stainless-steel tanks for eight months.

Ageing

The wine matures in Allier oak barrels for at least one year. It is not intended for long-term cellaring, but gains depth and becomes more settled after five to six years.

Tasting profile

A softer expression than Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, it is lighter and less rounded, with a lively, youthful character and ample freshness.
