Subheading: Vinification of the Le Potazzine Rosso di Montalcino by Tenuta le Potazzine

The grapes for this extraordinary wine are cultivated under optimal climatic conditions on the sun-dried hills around Montalcino. The vines grow on calcareous clay soils, imparting the wine with the necessary mineral richness. The grapes are harvested manually, selecting only the ripest and healthiest berries for the harvest. This gentle harvesting method guarantees high-quality grapes, ideal for elegant vinification.

After harvest, the grapes are immediately brought to the winery. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel or concrete tanks to preserve the delicate fruit aromas. During maceration, the contact time with the skins remains long to extract optimal tannins and to allow the complex aromas to develop. The result is a full-bodied and structured base, which is then carefully matured in stainless steel as well as large oak barrels. The aging usually lasts at least twelve months, with the winemakers paying attention to a perfect balance between fruit, tannin, and spice. The maturation in wood adds depth and complexity to the wine without compromising its fresh notes. This careful maturation makes the Le Potazzine Rosso di Montalcino a noble companion for special occasions.
