Montefolchi
This wine draws its origin from an ancient etruscan settlement
dating 700 years B.C.
It is obtained mainly from Merlot .
Grey rocky terrains situated at an altitude of 450 mt.
above sea level yield this kind of nectar with a very fine scent, a very
soft and velvety flavour that sometimes remembers little red fruit (like
raspberry or blackcurrant) or tobacco.
It ages in oak barrels from Allier for 12 months, then
12 months in the bottle.
We suggest to drink it not before the third year, though
it can be preserved for 8/10 years.
It was produced for the first time in 1995.
Wine produced annually: 3,000 bottles
Serving temperature: 18-20 °C
Alcohol level: 13 - 13.5 degrees
