€ 17.00
A wine of limited production obtained by bleeding the Sangiovese Grosso from their “Cru” vineyard of Montosoli, the same grapes destined to become Brunello Riserva. After just a few hours of maceration, 15-20% of the juice is removed to continue the vinification away from the skins. The wine has a light color and consistent body, notable fruit and shows the very essence of Montosoli: a unique, saline and mineral character.
