Rosso Montevertine is the historic wine of the winery, produced from 1971 to 1981 as a simple Chianti Classico and from 1982 to today as a Montevertine. From selected grapes of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino, this tuscan red wine matures for two years in oak barrels of Slavonia and Allier. Rosso Montevertine performs alcoholic fermentation in cement tanks for about 21 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in cement tanks and aging for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels and about 3 months in bottle. Red Montevertine has an intense ruby color bright and vivid. The bouquet is expressed on fruity tones of raspberry, cherry and currant, followed by spicy notes of juniper, licorice and a vegetal trace reminiscent of moss and fern. On the palate, a complex tannin emerges and a full and enveloping body. Fresh, balanced and great taste. Ideal in combination with a board of cold cuts, grilled meats and for those who want to gamble even with fish cooked in the middle. To fully appreciate the style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 17/18°C.
