A southern Tuscan bargain perfect for any occasion! Ripe and complex, with smooth tannins and a confident Tuscan personality.
Grape varietal & region: Montecucco Rosso Riserva earned the name of its Estate and represents the essence of their production.
ColleMassari's Montecucco Rosso Riserva is a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo, 10% Montepulciano. Sourced from vineyards located 300 metres above sea level with marl and alluvial soil compositions. The vineyard was planted in 1999 and is organically farmed. Harvested by hand with a yield of around 5 tonnes per hectare.
Taste profile: Enthralling ruby-violet colour. A dominant tang of Sangiovese flavour with charming ripe cherry notes and complementary layers of dark fruits. Each sip is a ripe fruit sensation with notes of tobacco, mediterranean and oak spices. Dense yet soft structure, with fine tannins and fresh acidity on the finish.
Winemaking process: Fermentation is spontaneous and followed by 3–4 weeks maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Aged for 16 months with the Sangiovese in 40hl oak casks, whilst the Cabernet Sauvignon and Ciliegiolo age in 500 litre French oak tonneau.
Fun Fact: Colle Massari is under Colle Massari Estates. The same group producing the acclaimed award winning brand Poggio di Sotto!
From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.
These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
