Then the racking happens with consequent lowering of the temperature of the wine at 18-20° to allow the malolactic fermentation to start. Refinement is done in traditional 3500 lt. and 500 lt. French oak barrels for 6 months.
Tasting Notes: Our Rosso di Montepulciano is a wine with a young character and a lively ruby red color. On the nose we feel aromas of ripe fruits, cherry and light vanilla notes stand out. In the mouth it is full-bodied, savory, fresh and pleasantly tannic.
