ColleMassari Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc

The signature wine of Castello ColleMassari

The dominant flavor is the extreme elegance of the Sangiovese with charming cherry notes combined with dark fruits and the complexity of Cabernet; the typical acidity and the body are perfectly integrated, it's linear, dry, persistent and shows a nice balance.
The Montecucco Rosso Riserva carries the name of the Estate, it represents the essence of our production: a wine for any palate, ripe and complex with smooth tannins.

Vinification

From vineyards located about 300 meters above the sea with different soil composition. Sandstone soils with marl, ferrous and limestone, loamy soils as well as gravel deposits. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, then the Riserva is aged for 16 months: the Sangiovese in 40hl oak casks while Cabernet Sauvignon and Ciliegiolo age in French oak tonneau of 500 liters.
