About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Produced in Montepulciano, in the province of Siena, from grapes gathered across Fattoria del Cerro’s estate-owned vineyards. Silìneo is conceived as the estate’s classic expression of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, combining respect for the potential of Sangiovese in Montepulciano with a modern interpretation of the denomination.
Grapes
Sangiovese with other traditional grape varieties.
Vinification
Fermentation and maceration take place at a controlled 24–28°C, with daily pumping over. The wine is racked after fermentation.
Ageing
Following racking, the wine matures for at least 18 months in large oak barrels.
Tasting profile
Aromas of cherry and small red fruits lead into an elegant yet bold palate. The finish is long and persistent.
Serving and pairing
Pair with roasted meat dishes and mature cheeses.
Label / history
