Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Ancient Chiusina Fattoria del Cerro is a wine produced by the Tenute del Cerro wine group. The wine Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Antica Chiusina Fattoria del Cerro is produced from 100% Sangiovese clone Prugnolo Gentile grown in the Antica Chiusina vineyard, a very rare variety grown in central Italy whose name derives from the violet scent that characterizes the wine. The grapes are harvested manually around the middle of September and brought to the winery for destemming. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and lasts for about 15 days at a temperature of 28 ° C during this period the wine is enriched with polyphenols and aromas that are released from the skins and grape seeds, after fermentation the Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Antica Chiusina Fattoria del Cerro remains in contact with the skins for another 48 hours at a temperature of 29 ° C, favoring the polymerization of the polyphenols and therefore the attenuation of astringency. Subsequently the Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Antica Chiusina Fattoria del Cerro is aged for 8 months in French oak barriques from where it is then poured into large barrels to continue its aging for a further 4 months before blending and bottling.
