This wine is made from Sangiovese grapes to deliver a sip of great structure. Its flavour profile is marked by a full and energetic entry, supported by \u003cstrong\u003eyoung and silky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The meticulous ageing in the cellar imparts elegance and \u003cstrong\u003egood persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it ideal for pairing with game dishes and mature cheeses. Its varietal identity is immediately apparent from the \u003cstrong\u003eintense ruby red colour\u003c\/strong\u003e, a visual prelude to a deep bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes originate from \u003cstrong\u003evineyards arranged in a crown\u003c\/strong\u003e on the slopes of Monteliscione, in the historic territory of Montepulciano. The rows are situated at around three hundred metres above sea level, in an area characterised by warm temperatures that favour optimal ripening of the bunches. The soils, poor in organic matter but with a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh clay content\u003c\/strong\u003e, give the wine significant structural concentration. This specific terroir allows the Sangiovese to express itself at its best, encouraging a solid tannic structure and a \u003cstrong\u003evibrant freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e, both fundamental elements for the wine’s development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out by indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Maceration involves pumping over and délestage to maximise polyphenolic extraction. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for twenty-four months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, completing the process with a final period of rest. On the nose, clear notes of cherry, morello cherry and black cherry stand out, enriched by hints of sage and lavender. The palate, enlivened by flavours of raspberry and currant, finishes with an \u003cstrong\u003eembracing spicy finale\u003c\/strong\u003e reminiscent of cocoa bean.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn at 300 metres above sea level on the hills of Monteliscione, this elegant \u003cstrong\u003eVino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e from 2021 embodies the winemaking tradition of Tenuta Calimaia - Frescobaldi.
