Jeroboam Montebello Toscana i.g.t. 2011 3 lt with wooden box

Organic

The limestone clay soil in the Monti in Chianti area and the perfect position of the vineyards are the essential factors that provide depth and elegance to Montebello Toscana igt wine.
For some time the company has been engaged in the study and recovery of the ancient varieties typical of these areas through the cultivation of historic vines: Mammolo , Ciliegiolo , Pugnitello, Colorino, Sanforte, MalvasiaNera, Canaiolo and FogliaTonda.

After years of experimenting and learning, in 2011 the project found its expression in this wine. Blending equal parts of the nine varietals gives a truly unique expression of our place, and is a homage to the Chianti tradition that required the use of many local varieties. Each grape is fermented and aged separately in barrels at the Monti winery positioned in the middle of the Badia a Coltibuono vineyards.
Indigenous yeasts and natural fermentation allow a harmonious blend of the varieties.

Vintage notes

The 2011 season was memorable for the hot dry summer that resulted in the earliest harvest on record.
The grapes were manually sorted to ensure that only perfect quality clusters would be used. The harmonious blend of the 9 varietals gives this wine elegance and depth; the intensity and elegance make it pleasurable now but ageworthy.
Harvest period: 19th September / 1st October
