The vineyards, which are arranged in a crown on the Monteliscione hills, are about 300 metres above sea level and are poor in organic matter, therefore particularly suited to the cultivation of Sangiovese (traditionally called "Prugnolo Gentile" in this area).
Nobile di Montepulciano is the flagship wine of Tenuta Calimaia. The high presence of clay and the high temperatures, due to the low altitude, are in fact the perfect conditions for creating a structured and powerful Nobile wine, rich in tannins and very suitable for ageing. Read more

| Fermentation temperature | 26 °C |
| Wine making | Once harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks at a contro led temperature (26 °C), and fermentation took place spontaneously. Maceration on the skins a lowed for perfect extraction of the polyphenols, assisted by frequent pumping over in the initial stages of fermentation, délestage in the intermediate stage, and further pumping over in the final stage. The malolactic fermentation was completed in steel before winter. |
| Aging | Subsequently, the wine matured in 50 hL oak barrels for 24 months. It then rested in the bottle for some months. |
