Montecucco DOC is a full-bodied red wine with a rich, intense color. The aroma is complex and persistent, releasing hints of ripe fruit, spices, and a slight trace of tobacco. The taste is dry, warm, and velvety, characterized by a good structure and excellent balance between the tannins and acidity.

History

Montecucco DOC was established in 1998 and is located in the heart of 'real' Tuscany, between the cities of Florence and Siena. It has quickly gained recognition for its wines, especially the reds made from the Sangiovese grape. The region is known for its rich history of winemaking, with vineyards dating back to the Etruscan era.

Geographical Production Area

Montecucco DOC is produced in the southern part of Tuscany, specifically in the province of Grosseto. The region is characterized by a varied climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The soil here is rich in limestone and clay, providing excellent conditions for the growth of the Sangiovese grape. The vineyards are typically located on the hillsides, benefiting from optimal sunlight exposure and good ventilation.
