Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a gem that embodies the spirit of Tuscany: the Rosso di Montepulciano DOCG from the Avignonesi estate. It is an authentic gateway to the world of Tuscan wines, a perfect balance between tradition and passion, that you won't want to miss.
This wine was born on the generous lands of Montepulciano, a prestigious appellation in the heart of Tuscany. The Avignonesi estate, with its commitment to sustainable and environmentally respectful viticulture, grows Sangiovese there, the region's king grape variety, known locally as "Prugnolo Gentile". This attentive approach to the ecosystem can be felt in every drop, offering a wine that faithfully expresses its terroir.
The vinification of this Rosso di Montepulciano begins with fermentation in steel tanks, with maceration on the skins that allows color and aromas to be extracted. It then benefits from 6 to 12 months of aging, which refines its structure. Visually, it displays an intense ruby red color, punctuated with purplish reflections, a sign of its youth and liveliness. On the nose, you will be charmed by vivid aromas of red fruits, notably cherry and strawberry, enriched with light spicy notes and a subtle touch of vanilla, a legacy of its brief passage in wood. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance, with a tannic structure that is present but softened, evolving towards a pleasant freshness and a persistent fruity finish.
This Rosso di Montepulciano is an ideal companion for a variety of dishes. I recommend it with Tuscan charcuterie, grilled red meats, or hard cheeses. It also pairs wonderfully with mushroom-based dishes, revealing all its complexity. It is the perfect wine for a convivial evening with friends or a family lunch, bringing a touch of elegance and Italian character to your table. Let yourself be carried away by the history and heritage of Tuscany that this Avignonesi wine tells so well.
