ColleMassari's Montecucco Rosso Riserva is produced in the estate's vineyards in the Montecucco area, in the hills of the Tuscan Maremma, a territory characterised by rich soils and a particularly favourable climate for grape growing. It is made primarily from Sangiovese, complemented by other red grape varieties. The grapes are harvested by hand, with careful selection of the bunches. After fermentation, the wine undergoes extended ageing in oak, developing structure, complexity and elegance while retaining the freshness typical of Sangiovese. The result is an intense and refined red wine, offering an authentic expression of the Montecucco terroir. Per 100 ml: E=327 kJ/79 kcal
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red colour with elegant garnet reflections. The nose is broad and complex, offering aromas of ripe cherry, red berries and violet, complemented by spicy and balsamic notes, with delicate hints of tobacco and vanilla. On the palate, it is structured, warm and enveloping, supported by elegant, well-integrated tannins and pleasant freshness. The finish is long and persistent, with a refined savoury character.
An important wine, ideal for rich and convivial lunches and dinners. It pairs beautifully with grilled red meat, roasts, game, braised meats and aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its structure, elegance and aromatic complexity, it is best served at 18°C.
