Rosso di Montepulciano DOC 2024 Poliziano

What kind of wine is it

The Rosso di Montepulciano di Poliziano is a red wine made from Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, harvested exclusively by hand. It is conceived as a youthful, immediate expression of the estate's style, with a fruit-forward, easy-drinking profile. It offers a more direct gateway to the terroir than the more structured labels.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from vineyards located in the municipality of Montepulciano, in Tuscany. Manual harvesting allows for the selection of the clusters intended for this label, which brings together Sangiovese and Merlot in a wine intended for early drinking.

How it is made

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for ten to twelve days. Maturation continues partly in barrique and partly in stainless steel tanks for about eight months before bottling. This shorter path compared to the estate's other labels preserves the freshness and immediacy of the fruit.

Tasting notes

It shows a ruby red color. On the nose, aromas of red fruits open up, enriched by pleasant spicy notes. On the palate it is youthful, full-bodied, and pleasantly fruity.

Food pairings

This Rosso di Montepulciano is perfect with appetizers and cured meats. It pairs just as well with grilled red meats and aged cheeses, where its fruity character and good structure find a pleasing balance.

When to serve it

It is a versatile wine, suited to everyday meals and informal occasions, thanks to its youthful, fruit-driven profile. It works well both as an accompaniment to appetizers and throughout the meal with grilled meat dishes.
