Rosso di Montepulciano DOC Avignonesi is a highly esteemed red wine produced in the Montepulciano area of Tuscany. This region is renowned for its winemaking tradition and the quality of its wines, thanks to ideal soil and climate conditions for vine cultivation. The production area extends over Pliocene-origin hills, with predominantly clay soils rich in skeleton and minerals. These soil characteristics contribute to the wine's structure and complexity. The grapes used for Rosso di Montepulciano DOC Avignonesi are mainly Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, which must constitute at least 70% of the blend. Other red grape varieties, native or international, can be added up to a maximum of 30%. Harvest usually takes place in late September or early October when the grapes have reached optimal ripeness. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The aging of Rosso di Montepulciano DOC Avignonesi occurs in French oak barriques for about 8-10 months, depending on the vintage. This process allows the wine to develop its characteristic aromas and flavors, including notes of ripe red fruit, spices, and a slight touch of vanilla. In terms of food pairings, Rosso di Montepulciano DOC Avignonesi pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own due to its structure and complexity. Pairings: This Tuscan red wine is characterized by aromas of ripe red fruit, spices, and notes of tobacco and leather. It pairs excellently with traditional Tuscan dishes based on red meat, such as Florentine steak, stewed wild boar, or roast pork. It is also great with aged cheeses like Tuscan pecorino and typical regional cured meats such as Tuscan prosciutto and finocchiona. For a first course pairing, a dish of pappardelle with wild boar or hare ragù is recommended, as their robustness and intense flavor complement the wine's structure and complexity. Remember that food and wine pairing is very personal and depends on individual tastes. The important thing is that the wine and food enhance each other without overpowering. Storage: Store between 14-18°C Alcohol content: 13.5% Vintage: 2022
