Val Di Suga Description
Rosso di Montalcino Val di Suga showcases a lively nose and exhibits notes of red berry fruits, cherries, and redcurrants, with slightly spicy overtones. The mouth is full and plush, with silky tannins and a juicy finish.
True to the classic interpretation of Val di Suga, it is made with Sangiovese grapes cultivated in the three sectors where parcels with looser soils and the most vigorous vineyards are identified. It is a bright and lustrous wine in every aspect: from the color to aroma, where the aim is to enhance its fresh and very crisp fruit, to the palate where the acidic matrix defines its well-balanced taste.
The choice of harvest time (always earlier than for Brunello) is crucial to preserve and obtain the freshness and fruit we want to find in this wine. The grapes brought to the cellar after destemming and crushing undergo careful selection by the optical sorter before reaching steel tanks in the cellar. After 3 days of pre-fermentative maceration, selected yeasts initiate alcoholic fermentation, which lasts for 8 days. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wines are racked into 50-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels, where they age for 6 months.
