Bunches are harvested, selected and must is fermented together with the pomace in stainless steel vessels at a controlled temperature for 18-20 days.

Characteristics of Rosso di Montalcino
It presents an intense ruby red colour. On the nose it releases a very elegant and intense bouquet with currant notes. Full-bodied and in taste, with a lightly amount of tannins. It should be served in a wide transparent crystal glass at a temperature of 16-18°C. We suggest to uncork the bottle one hour before serving to enhance its qualities.

It can be perfectly paired with main courses with meat sauce, charcuterie, fresh or middle-aged chees white and red meat. It can be kept for many years, if properly conserved: the bottle must be set down in a cool and dark place.
