The vineyards are located at three hundred metres above sea level, immersed in a climate characterised by mild and very rainy winters followed by hot and dry summers, conditions that favour optimal grape ripening. The soils, poor in organic matter but with a high \u003cstrong\u003epresence of clay\u003c\/strong\u003e, give the sip a marked \u003cstrong\u003estructural concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e. The meeting between the microclimate and the nature of this specific \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e allows Sangiovese to express its full potential, developing intense aromas and maintaining great liveliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e conducted by indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled steel tanks. During the skin maceration phase, frequent \u003cstrong\u003epumping over and délestage\u003c\/strong\u003e are carried out to maximise the extraction of the polyphenolic component. Once the malolactic fermentation in steel is complete, the wine undergoes a slow refinement of twenty-four months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a further period of rest in the bottle. This process yields clear aromas of cherry, wild flowers and undergrowth, with a palate enlivened by red fruits and a long spicy finish reminiscent of cocoa beans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2022 embodies the deep winemaking heritage of Tenuta Calimaia, part of the \u003cstrong\u003eFrescobaldi\u003c\/strong\u003e universe.
