Rosso di Montalcino DOCG 2024

  The Rosso di Montalcino from Caparzo is an elegant and versatile wine that reflects the quality and complexity of the Montalcino region. Obtained from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, the vines come from three different locations, spread over the northern, southern and eastern slopes of Montalcino. The variety of microclimates and soils - from sandy-clayey to stony-slate formations - enables Caparzo to produce a wine of consistently high quality year after year.

After mechanical harvesting, during which green parts are effectively removed, fermentation takes place for 7 days at controlled temperatures of 28 to 30 °C, supplemented by delestage and regular pumping over. A further 5-day contact with the skins provides additional aromas and structure. Malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously and the wine matures before reaching its full harmony.

The Rosso di Montalcino has an intense ruby red color in the glass. Its bouquet is varied and seductive, characterized by violets, raspberries and pomegranate. On the palate, it develops a warm, dry and generous texture with an excellent balance. The pleasant acidity and fine structure make it a harmonious companion for a wide range of dishes.

This wine is an excellent accompaniment to red meat dishes, pasta with spicy sauces, legume stews and mature cheeses. With a storage potential of up to 8 years, the Rosso di Montalcino from Caparzo offers enjoyment both for immediate consumption and for short maturation. The ideal serving temperature is 18 °C, whereby it should be opened 1-2 hours before consumption in order to develop its full aroma. - Gerardo [TS11/25]
