Montecucco Rosso DOC La Querciolina di Sassetti Lorenzo 2018

Montecucco Rosso DOC is a product of Lorenzo Sassetti's La Querciolina winery. Located in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, the company founded in 1999, thanks to the passion and experience of three generations, aims to preserve the genetic characteristics of the earth and its fruits, creating only high quality bottles. The grapes come from the Sangiovese vine, typical in this territory rich in clay and limestone characterized by the presence of moderate ventilation. After the harvest, the bunches are subjected to a light pressing, then we proceed with the fermentation which takes place in steel vats, the maceration lasts about 15 days. The refinement takes place in large Slavonian wooden barrels where the wine remains for 6 months followed by a further 6 months in the bottle. Montecucco Rosso Doc is an intense and structured red wine that is well suited for immediate drinking, but can evolve in the cellar for a few years thanks to its longevity.
