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!
