The geographical area dedicated to the production of the DOC Rosso di Montalcino wine extends over the Siena hills, in an area that is adequately ventilated, bright and favorable to the fulfillment of all the vegetative-productive functions of the vineyards.
The Production Area of ​​the DOC Rosso di Montalcino wine is located in the province of Siena and includes the territory of the municipality of Montalcino.

During the vinification phases, only loyal and constant oenological practices of the area are allowed, suitable to give the wines their particular quality characteristics.
The oenological practices of vinification of the DOC Rosso di Montalcino include, among other things, that:
– The maximum yield of grapes in DOC Rosso di Montalcino wine must not exceed 70%; if these parameters are exceeded within the limit of 5%, the excess will not be entitled to the DOC. Beyond these limits the right to DOC for the whole product lapses.
– The “Rosso di Montalcino” DOC wine can also be obtained by passing the classification from the “Brunello di Montalcino” DOCG wine currently being processed, provided that the wine complies with the rules of this production specification.
– In the designation of the Rosso di Montalcino DOC wines the term ” Vigna ” may be mentioned as long as it is followed by the relative toponym and certain winemaking practices are respected.
– On the labels of each type of DOC Rosso di Montalcino wine it is mandatory to report the year of production of the grapes.

The production of a young red wine has been present for a long time in the territory of Montalcino. Over time this wine has been designated in various ways and has assumed an important role in the Montalcino area. Information is known about a wine that was called Vermiglio and was produced to be consumed in a relatively short time due to its characteristics of freshness and fragrance.
In the second part of the nineteenth century there was the production of a wine defined as “Red” and one of these was awarded a bronze medal in 1869.
As part of the Exhibition of Typical Sienese Wines held in Siena in 1932, 1933 and 1935, “Rosso” wines from Montalcino were presented.
In the 60s of the twentieth century it was decided to place this wine within a designation of origin and the first idea was to designate this wine as “Rosso dai Vigneti di Brunello”. Subsequently the wine was designated as “Rosso di Montalcino”, a name that took root precisely to be immediate and linked to the territory.
Rosso di Montalcino is appreciated for its fragrance and freshness, given by the primary aromas (fruity) and secondary aromas (coming from fermentation). It is appreciated by a wide range of consumers, because it is easy to combine and has characteristics of versatility. It is in fact possible to find on the market the young Red or the more structured and complex Red.
The DOC Rosso di Montalcino wine obtained the recognition of the Controlled Designation of Origin on 25 November 1983.

Info

The black grape Sangiovese is cultivated in the regions: Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Latium, Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Molise, Piedmont, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany, Umbria, Veneto.
Sangiovese is probably a vine originating from Tuscany (it has been known since the Etruscan period, around the eighth century BC) and its name could derive from the term “Sangue di Giove”, testifying to the ancient link between wine and divinity . Another less vague theory traces the origin of the name to the origin from San Giovanni Valdarno.
The wine supply of the capital Florence in the Renaissance period was precisely from the Castles of Valdarno di Sopra, built in the territories conquered by the Florentines a few centuries earlier. In 1716, the Grand Duke Cosimo III de ‘Medici issued a notice to regulate the protection of the wines of Chianti, Pomino, Carmignano and Valdarno di Sopra. There is another thesis according to which Sangiovese was born in Santarcangelo di Romagna. In fact, already in Roman times, vines were grown on these hills near the Rubicon. Hence the name “Colle Jovis” where Santarcangelo arose and developed.
Sangiovese therefore as a conjunction of SANGUIS and JOVIS blood of Jupiter. From recent genetic studies it seems that “Sangiovese”, contrary to its widespread and historical presence in the Tyrrhenian area, has numerous kinship with cultivars grown in Southern Italy, especially in Sicily and Calabria. Ten varieties make up the “family” and “Ciliegiolo” seems to be a direct descendant of it.

Wine Characteristics

From the Sangiovese grape we obtain a wine of intense ruby ​​red color, tannic, full-bodied, harmonious, with a pleasant bitter and fruity aftertaste; aged it releases the characteristic tertiary aromas.
