Vinification of the Vigneto Santa Pia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG of La Braccesca
The Sangiovese grapes for this elegant red wine grow in the 15-hectare Santa Pia vineyard, one of the most prestigious locations for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The Sangiovese clones have been carefully selected over the years with the aim of creating a cru that best expresses the character and terroir.
TheSnagiovese grapes from the Santa Pia vineyard are rigorously harvested by hand around mid-October. After destemming and gentle pressing of the grapes, the must is filled into stainless steel tanks, where the alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in order to optimally preserve the grape variety typical aromas of the Sangiovese. After maceration on the peels for 20 days, the wine is transferred to 500 l Tonneaux for malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing for 12 months. After bottling, the wine matures for another 20 months in the bottle before being sold.
This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Vigneto Santa Pia is a very nice example of complexity, intensity, nobility, elegance balance and harmony. It has a storage potential of at least 15 years.
