NOTES BY GIOVANNI NERI GENEROSITY AND PLEASANTNESS. Very generous vintage, pleasant and very drinkable even in youth. The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino presents itself to the eye with a bright and intense red color. On the nose it releases hints of berries, on which cherry and raspberry stand out. On the palate it is seductive, rich and full, in full harmony with the 2019. The savory and balanced finish is well supported by an acidity that suggests a long life.

HARVEST Manually in the first week of September.

VINIFICATION Manual selection of bunches before destemming and selection of grapes with optical selector. Spontaneous fermentation follows without the use of added yeasts and maceration aided by frequent punching down. Everything takes place in truncated cone-shaped steel vats at a controlled temperature for 18 days.

AGING PERIOD 18 months in barrel

The winter was characterized by mild temperatures with rainfall on average compared to previous years. A stable and sunny March and April were followed by a singular May with very low temperatures and abundant rainfall. All these factors contributed to delaying flowering and fruit setting by a few days. June and July were hot and dry with high peaks which allowed the initial vegetative delay to be recovered. The abundant spring water reserves and the hot and stable August allowed the grapes to ripen regularly.
