Description
The simplest wine of the Montevertine estate is also the one most uncorked and loved by Italian wine writers and aficionados of old-fashioned Tuscan wines. A wine for snacks and informal occasions in general, but capable of surprising for its delicacy and flavour. It does not disdain ageing but is fantastic drunk young. The Pian del Ciampolo was obtained from Sangiovese (90%), Canaiolo (5%), and Colorino (5%) grapes grown in the Radda in Chianti territory, in the province of Siena. Before being released on the market, the wine was aged for 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels and for an additional 3 months in bottle.
Tasting Notes :
The Pian del Ciampolo di Montevertine in the glass with a ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of sour cherry and small wild red fruits that blend with hints of rose and red field flowers, along with delicate vegetal notes. The palate is fresh and fruity, supported by a lively yet well-integrated tannic structure and a gentle minerality that lingers on the finish. Excellent as an all-around wine, it pairs well at the table with cold cuts and semi-aged cheeses, as well as dishes with vegetarian sauces and tasty land-based recipes featuring red meats and game.
