The grape composition for this red wine is the same as for the unaged Montecucco Rosso, namely Sangiovese (60-100%), to which other, local, non-aromatic red grapes can also be added (0-40%).
The color is intense, ruby red with a tendency towards garnet. The aroma is ample, vinous, elegant and characteristic. The taste is dry, warm, elegant and with hints of oak.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years, of which 18 months must be in oak barrels. Aging must begin by November 1 of the harvest year.
Enjoyed immensely with roast.

Italy extends over 10 latitudes – from continental climate to subtropical climate?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
