Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG Reserve - Colliforti 2021

The Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG Riserva Risveglio 2021 represents the highest expression of Sangiovese, a wine that embodies the strength and elegance of a unique territory, where the volcanic soils of Monte Amiata meet careful artisanal craftsmanship.

The grapes come from a selected vineyard located at 245 meters altitude with a southwest exposure. The significant temperature variations between day and night, combined with breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea, promote a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The volcanic-origin soil, rich in sandstone, marl, and calcareous clay, gives the wine a distinct minerality, freshness, and an elegant, deep tannic structure.

The harvest is carried out entirely by hand with a strict selection of the best grape clusters. Made from a selection where Sangiovese represents at least 90% of the blend, in full compliance with the Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG designation regulations, the wine undergoes a long aging process: about two years in French oak barriques, followed by at least twelve months of bottle rest.

The result is a red wine of great structure, complexity, and balance, capable of magnificent evolution over time. Ideal paired with red meats, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, it expresses the full personality and identity of the Montecucco territory.

Its excellence has also been recognized with the Red Award at the Merano WineFestival, a prestigious honor that confirms its high quality.
