Frescobaldi – Tenuta Calimaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG cl75
Tuscan elegance and tradition meet in Frescobaldi's Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, a refined red that expresses all the nobility of Sangiovese grown on the hills of Montepulciano.
The Tenuta Calimaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG is born from the historical experience of the Frescobaldi family, a protagonist of Tuscan viticulture for over 700 years. With the acquisition of Tenuta Calimaia, located in the heart of the Montepulciano appellation, Frescobaldi has launched a project dedicated to enhancing one of Italy's most prestigious red wines.
Mainly made from Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile) grapes, this Vino Nobile faithfully interprets the territory thanks to vineyards located between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, characterized by soils rich in clay and skeleton which give structure, depth, and great aging potential.
Winemaking takes place with temperature-controlled fermentation and a long maceration on the skins to promote aromatic and tannic extraction. Aging in wood and subsequent rest in the bottle allow the wine to develop complexity, harmony, and elegance.
The result is an intense and refined red, capable of expressing all the richness of the Montepulciano territory through a perfect balance of fruit, structure, and freshness.
