Dei, Rosso di Montepulciano 2019

Tasting notes
It’s such a valuable well-balanced red wine with smoothness and elegance. You can easily scent the scents of fruits like red cherry, strawberry and red plums and red currant. A delicate floral note of violet, a hint of mint and then richer notes of cocoa, tobacco, vanilla and a hint of game meat. The wine is dry with high acidity, high ripe tannins and a medium plus body. It has a medium plus finish that is juicy and hold a pleasant character of liquorice.

Gastronomy
Best paired with red meats dishes, poultry, rabbit, and medium-age cheeses like Gouda, Edam, Jarlsberg, Cantal, and Kashkaval/Cașcaval.

Vineyards
Most of the grapes come from the “Martiena” vineyard, an area also suitable for the production of Vino Nobile. The soil, tufaceous with the presence of sedimentary rock, brings out the fruity flavour of the wine and makes the Sangiovese very pleasant even when young. The grapes are handpicked and then gently pressed; fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26° – 28°C; and maceration for 15-20 days.
The wines of 2019 are very in- teresting and of very high quality. Upon tasting, the wines present intense colours, an ex- cellent aromatic expression of the varietal, concentration, and an exquisite texture.

Aging method
The grapes are handpicked and pressed gently, ferrmented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging 3 months in 33hl Slavonian oak barrels, 6 months in bottle refinement.
