The Montecucco Rosso Riserva Poggio Lombrone by Colle Massari is crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes sourced from old estate vines rooted in clay-limestone soils rich in tuff, at an altitude of approximately 300 meters above sea level. After manual harvesting, with a yield of 60 quintals per hectare, the grapes were transported to the winery for vinification. Alcoholic fermentation, which converts sugars into alcohol, took place in open truncated-cone vats. Malolactic fermentation, which softens the aromatic and structural edges of the must, and an 18-month aging process occurred in 40-hectoliter oak barrels. Before release, the Montecucco Rosso Riserva Poggio Lombrone Colle Massari rested in the bottle for 12 months.
