A simple Rosso with quite an old-school, dried-cherry and oak-spice character. Bit of second-wine quality to this, but it’s light, clean, fresh and spicy. Easy to drink now.
The harvest of the Sangiovese grapes destined for this Rosso di Montalcino DOC begins in the first week of October. Harvesting is strictly manual to ensure the perfect ripening of the bunches and the health of the grapes brought to the cellar. The vinification phase begins with a maceration of about 20 days on the skins at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Then, after vinification, we proceed with a phase of refinement in oak barrels for a period of 6 months. The colour is ruby red, not overly charged. The nose is dominated by the typical notes of Sangiovese, with red and black fruit, a fine memory of underbrush and a dusting of sweet spices. In the mouth, however, it is rightly alcoholic, with good structure. It is warm, with lovely elegant tannins and a pleasant savoury finish.
North-East slope of the hill of Montalcino. It is here, about 7 kilometres from the village, that Podere la Vigna is located. Owned by the Rubegni family, farmers who have been in the business for generations, the estate can count on a complex of four hectares of vineyards, where clearly (and rightly so) the main grape variety is always Sangiovese, grown here in several carefully selected clones. Adriano Rubegni, and his wife Sonia, personally follow the production. A curiosity. The symbol of the winery is a "married" vine, that is, one that uses a tree as a guide. This ancient form of cultivation, locally called "a testucchio", was present in the estate vineyards purchased in the 1970s. A nice tribute to an ancient tradition, now almost disappeared from our countryside. The vine holding on to the plant symbolizes the bond that is established between the vine and its territory. Definitely a good message.
