Why We Love It
Montepulciano is often associated with easy-drinking reds. This bottle takes a more disciplined approach. The structure is front and center, making it especially compelling at the table.
Winemaking
Fermented in cement with moderate extraction to preserve purity and shape. Aged without new oak so the grape’s natural tannin and acidity remain the defining elements.
Serving & Pairing
Serve at cellar temperature. Ideal with grilled meats, braised lamb, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.
