This red wine contains the same grapes as the regular Montecarlo Rosso, which is synonymous with Sangiovese (50-75%), Canaiolo Nero (5-15%), Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Nera, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (10-15%), along with local red and green grapes (0-20%).
As is the case with its cousin, this is a clear, ruby-colored red wine with a tendency towards garnet. The aroma is vinous, intense and characteristic, while the taste is dry and delightfully smooth.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years, followed by 6 months in the bottle.

Italy extends over 10 latitudes – from continental climate to subtropical climate?
Umbria is called ”cuore verde d'Italia” (The green hearts of Italy). The beautiful, green hills that characterize the region’s landscape are on par with Tuscany’s beauty. The same is true of the talent for wine production.
