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

HARVEST Manual in the first week of September.

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

AGING PERIOD 18 months in cask

Winter was characterized by mild temperatures with average rainfall in previous years. A stable and sunny March and April was followed by a singular May with very low temperatures and abundant rainfall. All these factors contributed to delaying flowering and fruit set for a few days. June and July were hot and dry with high peaks which made it possible to recover the initial vegetative delay. The abundant spring water reserves and the warm and stable August allowed a regular ripening of the grapes.
