Montepolli 2019 represents the first vintage of a new wine. It is a wine produced in the clos style, with the grapes coming from a small vineyard with a specific clayey-limestone subsoil and therefore the wine is only produced in small quantities. The wine produced in Montepolli is built on ideas of consistency and softness to bring forward a wine that has 'material accessibility'. The purpose of the wine is in part to exemplify how structurally satisfactory wines can be produced even in hot climatic conditions.
TASTING NOTES
Colour: Dark ruby-red, hinting at its youthful vigor and refined structure.
Aroma: Fresh, inviting aromas of cherries, strawberries, and elderberries, accompanied by fine floral notes, a touch of eucalyptus, and a subtle balsamic-leather undertone.
Palate: The wine is medium-weight with excellent freshness and juiciness, anchored by fine acidity and minty brightness in the finish. The mid-palate reveals vibrant red fruit flavors—strawberry and cherry—nuanced with grapefruit peel bitterness, rosemary, and sage, all flowing into a softly structured, classic Merlot-tannic finish derived from clay-limestone soils.
