The result of a careful \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Ciliegiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e, it develops a deep aromatic profile, where notes of strawberry and black cherry merge with blackcurrant, enriched by hints of cedarwood and \u003cstrong\u003efine spices\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it reveals a solid structure, supported by \u003cstrong\u003ewell-integrated tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead the tasting towards a fresh and pleasantly earthy finish. A label capable of combining the immediacy of fruit with a remarkable ability to evolve over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red is produced in Cinigiano, on the \u003cstrong\u003eslopes of Monte Amiata\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of the Montecucco Riserva area. The vineyards are situated at around three hundred metres above sea level, in a breezy environment that benefits from significant temperature variations and the moderating influence of the Tyrrhenian coast. The soils feature a rich \u003cstrong\u003ematrix of sandstone and marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, alongside calcareous clays, gravel deposits and iron outcrops. This complex geology gives the wine a profound \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial character\u003c\/strong\u003e, supporting its structural intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eColleMassari uses a \u003cstrong\u003egravity-flow winery\u003c\/strong\u003e, moving the musts naturally to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature involves the use of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e and long macerations to encourage extraction. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for eighteen months. To achieve perfect structural balance, ageing takes place for half the batch in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, equally divided between new wood and barrels of subsequent use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated at the foot of Mount Amiata in Tuscany, the ColleMassari estate produces the excellent \u003cstrong\u003eMontecucco Rosso Riserva DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e from organic vineyards cultivated at an altitude of 300 metres. Thanks to an innovative \u003cstrong\u003evertical winery\u003c\/strong\u003e, grapes and must are moved by gravity, preserving the absolute integrity of the fruit. This approach enabled the 2022 vintage to receive 94 points from Luca Maroni.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ColleMassari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46450511773867,"sku":"61159","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/collemassari-montecucco-riserva-2022_61159_1_c75b1a75-b043-43af-829e-99b80bc7929f.webp?v=1776960635","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-fi\/products\/collemassari-montecucco-riserva-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
