Nobile di Montepulciano
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Cantine Dei is one of the most prestigious Italian wines, the first to be awarded the DOCG and it is the perfect example of the expression that Sangiovese takes in the Montepulciano lands. It is mostly Sangiovese, with small quantities of complementary varieties (5%). Grows in a predominantly clayey soil with the presence of sand (tuff), which gives it an intense colour, a full body and the ability to age. The vinification technique consists of soft pressing, fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C and maceration on the skins for 15-20 days with pumping over. Finally, it is aged for a minimum of 24 months, of which at least 18 months in 50 hl Slavonian oak casks.
