Monkey Manners is a red wine specially made from Sangiovese grapes that are late harvested in October and 60 days dry in ventilated places then malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tank without oak treatment. That’s why the ABV can reach 16%, not a fortified wine.
This wine is perfectly balanced and harmonious, and it’s remarkable for its high coherency at all tasting stages.
