Tenuta Montecchiesi, Preziosaterra 2018
With a unique blend of Italian and French varieties, this powerful red wine offers all the best aspects of a red wine. With great acidity from the Sangiovese and semi-sweet from the Syrah, this wine is an absolute powerhouse.
Characteristics
Tasting notes
Appears an intense ruby red. The bouquet releases fragrances of ripe fruit, with dried plum and cherry backed by hints of spice. Well-rounded and smooth on the palate, it exhibits superb depth and weight, and a delicious, full-flavoured finish.
Gastronomy
The wine’s richness and supple tannins make it a fine partner to roasts and grilled meat, as well as aged cheeses.
Vineyards
The name of this wine, ’precious land’, emphasises how precious our land is to us! A wine in which the typicality of Tuscany is combined with Sangiovese, with the grape variety par excellence in Cortona, Syrah. Spicy notes intertwine with fruity notes, all pleasantly softened by a slight refinement in wood.
Aging method
After the traditional hand-harvesting, with each grape variety kept separate, the berries macerate for 18 days. The must begins fermenting at 20°C and reaches 27°C at pressing-off; malolactic follows in stainless steel. Six months in once- and twice-used French-oak barrels and larger casks, followed by bottle-aging.
