Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2017 Canneto

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano of the Canneto company is born on the western hills of Montepulciano, near the church of San Biagio. The company was bought in 1987 by a group of friends from Zurich, admirers of Montepulciano wines, who over the years have built a new cellar and new machinery. The company has 30 hectares of vineyards, 16 of which are dedicated to the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

It is mainly produced with Sangiovese grapes and with Merlot and Cabernet grapes, harvested and selected by hand from the end of September to mid-October. After soft crushing and destemming, fermentation takes place in steel, with maceration for 16 days. Subsequently, the wine ages for 12 months in small Slavonian oak barrels and partly in 5Hl French oak barrels for a total of 16 months, then in steel vats and 6 months in bottle.

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano di Canneto is characterized by a ruby red color tending to garnet. The nose opens with fine and welcoming aromas, enriched by inviting hints of fruit. On the palate it is balanced, with fine and delicate tannins.

Perfect in combination with red meats, grilled, stew and game. Also excellent with pecorino di Pienza and aged cheeses in general.
