Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2022 Caparzo

Rosso di Montalcino di Caparzo is crafted from Sangiovese grapes sourced from the northern and southern regions of Montalcino, representing diverse locations such as Caparzo, Il Cassero, and San Piero-Caselle.

After separating the grapes from their green parts, they are fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28-30 °C for 7 days. Following this, the maceration period is extended for an additional 5 days, allowing for contact with the fine marc, and then the wine undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels.

In the glass, it presents an intense and concentrated ruby color. The nose is broad and intense, beginning with sweet floral notes of violet, followed by fruity hints of raspberry and pomegranate. On the palate, it is warm and dry, with a well-balanced profile.

It pairs beautifully with red meats and pasta with meat sauce, and also complements legume soups and medium to long-aged cheeses.
