Description
Rosso di Montepulciano Fattoria del Cerro is the base wine of the famous Fattoria del Cerro winery in Montepulciano, Tuscany. The main grape variety in the Montepulciano area is Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile. The Rosso di Montepulciano Fattoria del Cerro wine is produced with Prugnolo Gentile and 10% Syrah. The grapes are hand-harvested and brought to the winery for crushing, fermentation with maceration in steel tanks for 8-10 days at a controlled temperature (24-26°C) with daily pump-overs to ensure proper extraction of color and polyphenolic material from the skins to the wine. Subsequently, the Rosso di Montepulciano Fattoria del Cerro wine is separated from the skins and placed in large Slavonian oak barrels where it remains for 3 months until blending and bottling. Pairings: Rosso di Montepulciano Fattoria del Cerro is an excellent wine paired with appetizers, first courses with meat sauces, stuffed pasta, and grilled red meats.
