Montecitorio Derthona 1,5 l Magnum - Vigneti Massa

The Montecitorio Derthona 1.5 l Magnum from Vigneti Massa in Piedmont offers a dense, ruby-red color in the wine glass. The first nose of the Montecitorio Derthona 1.5 l Magnum caresses with nuances of blackberries and raspberries. The fruity elements of the bouquet are joined by more fruity-balsamic nuances.

This wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and, despite all its dryness, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. Powerful and multi-layered, this fleshy, dense and velvety red wine presents itself on the palate. The finish of this red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region ultimately impresses with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the marl-dominated soils. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here the vines drive their roots deep into marl soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of maturation on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
