Bio – Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Doc – San Lorenzo Winery
Montepulciano “Bio” represents tradition and innovation in an organic and sustainable red wine without sulphites.
Winemaking:
The optimal time for harvesting grapes is in October. The grapes are hand-picked and undergo a careful destemming and gentle crushing process. It utilises wild yeast to initiate a natural alcoholic fermentation, allowing the must to macerate on the skins for an optimal 14 to 20 days, all while meticulously controlling the temperature. This method, known as “spontaneous fermentation,” highlights the authenticity and character of the wine. Once racked, the wine is elegantly stored in stainless steel vessels, ensuring purity and refinement. We maintain the fermentation temperature at precisely 28°C to unlock the wine’s full potential.
Tasting Notes:
It has a vibrant ruby red colour. It offers fruity aromas of fresh berries along with mineral notes. The taste is fresh, well-balanced, and full of flavour. Its silky smooth tannins contribute to an easy drinking experience, while the straightforward flavour makes it enjoyable. The aftertaste is noticeably persistent.
