About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Montepulciano and Aglianico fruit is grown in Molise, a region of Central Italy established in 1963 after separating from Abruzzo.

Vinification

Traditional vinification begins with fermentation at 25 °C. The must is pumped over regularly during the first 3–4 days. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is racked and undergoes malolactic fermentation, followed by a further two or three rackings.

Ageing

The wine ages partly in stainless-steel tanks and partly in 500 L oak tonneaux for at least 36 months.

Tasting profile

Rich and harmonious, with a smooth, enveloping palate and a broad, layered aroma.

Label / history

The Vintage range has a deliberately retro appearance inspired by one of Tombacco’s earliest historic labels. In 2016, the wine received a silver medal at the Mundus Vini competition.
