This lovely blends, produced in a Bordeauxesque style, this wine is made of Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 %Merlot, 85 % Cabernet Franc, from biodynamic vineyards on the hills of Coriano.
Montepirolo is the result of a well-balanced the assemblage of the wine from three grape varieties vinified separately. After racking-off, the wine is transferred to barrique where the assemblage takes place. Complete malolactic fermentation after skin-contact maceration at a controlled temperature for 3 weeks, the wine is aged in barrique for 24 months, and 18 months in the bottle. In the glass, this wonderful wine has a ruby red in color. The nose opens with hints of currant, peppery spices, and marjoram, with elegant aromas of licorice, cherry, and earth. The palate is round and lovely, with a fantastic structure, smooth and velvety tannins, and long delicious finish. Pair it with stewed meats and sauces, roasts, risotto, and fresh cheeses.
