Description
What kind of wine it is
Ombrone Rosso di Cupano is a still organic red wine with a Typical Geographical Indication from Tuscany, made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Visually, it stands out for its intense ruby red colour. The bouquet offers pronounced aromas of cherry and blackcurrant, enriched by toasted notes, chocolate, and refined vegetal nuances. On the palate, this wine is opulent and dense, supported by a vigorous tannic structure that gives it a warm body and remarkable persistence.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced at Podere Centine, in the heart of the Montalcino area in Tuscany. The production is the result of the work of Cupano, a winery that cultivates its vineyards in harmony with nature's cycles.
How it is produced
Ombrone Rosso is made according to the principles of organic farming. To fully appreciate the complex aromatic range of dark fruits and roasted notes, it is recommended to decant for one hour before serving. This step enhances the long finish and the enveloping character of the sip.
History and Curiosities
The Ombrone Rosso 2022 by Cupano originates from Podere Centine, in Montalcino, born from the passion of Ornella Tondini and Lionel Cousin, who have chosen to cultivate the land with respect and dedication.

Lionel and Ornella bought Centine in 1994. That land - located south-west of Montalcino, close to the medieval town of Camigliano - had been left uncoltivated for more than 40 years. The soil they found was extremely pure, never touched by chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides or any other form of industrial agriculture.
Thus, in 1997, Ornella and Lionel chose to plant 3.4 hectares of vineyard around the hill, facing south, certified organic since the beginning: 2.4 hectares of Sangiovese for Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, 0.6 Cabernet Sauvignon and 0.4 Merlot. Carlo Ferrini helped us to select the land for the vines and the vine-stocks, the growth system and the height of the plants. François Bouchet initiated us to biodynamic, the simple and efficient biodynamic of the old gentleman farmer he was. In 2013 we planted three more hectares of vineyard: Sangiovese (2ha), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot. Read more
