ABOUT THIS WINE
The Castello Tricerchi Rosso di Montalcino 2021 is a 100% Sangiovese from the renowned Montalcino region in Tuscany. Sourced from the Vigna del Lago and Vigna del Piano plots, this wine is produced by Castello Tricerchi, a historic estate with winemaking cellars located within the castle's former dungeon. The estate practices sustainable and organic viticulture on its northern slopes, which contribute to the wine's characteristic freshness and elegance. This Rosso di Montalcino is considered a 'declassified' Brunello, offering a more immediate expression of the Sangiovese grape from prime vineyard sites.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2021 Castello Tricerchi Rosso di Montalcino is produced from 100% Sangiovese. Grapes are hand-harvested in mid-September. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 23°C, with a maceration period of 20 days. Aging occurs for 6 months in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by a minimum of 4 months of bottle refinement. The estate employs sustainable and organic farming practices.
