Montecucco DOC Riserva Tenuta dell'Impostino

Montecucco DOC Riserva Tenuta dell'Impostino is a fine wine produced in the region of Tuscany, more specifically in the Montecucco area, located between the hills of Maremma and the slopes of Mount Amiata. This area is renowned for its rich biodiversity and ideal climatic conditions for viticulture. The soils from which the grapes for the production of this wine are derived are mainly of volcanic origin, rich in minerals and with a good presence of skeleton. These characteristics give the wine a solid structure and considerable aromatic complexity. The grapes used are mainly Sangiovese, which makes up at least 85% of the blend, to which other native Tuscan varieties may be added. Production of Montecucco DOC Riserva Tenuta dell'Impostino follows traditional methods, with manual harvesting and vinification in steel. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to best preserve the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. This is followed by aging in French oak barrels for at least 14 months, during which the wine acquires further nuances of flavor and aroma. After aging in wood, the wine is bottled and left to rest for at least another 6 months before being put on the market. Montecucco DOC Riserva Tenuta dell'Impostino has an intense ruby red color. The nose offers aromas of ripe red fruit, spices and notes of tobacco and leather. The palate is full, warm and enveloping, with soft tannins and a lingering finish. Because of its structure and complexity, this wine pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game and aged cheeses. It is a wine that can also be enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine.
