Fattoria della Talosa, located in Montepulciano, Tuscany, produces the renowned Rosso di Montepulciano D.O.C from carefully selected grapes grown in Montepulciano’s Pietrose locality. This wine represents the richness of Pliocene soils and the tradition of Tuscany’s fine reds. The estate is converting to organic farming.

Appellation: Rosso di Montepulciano DOC Toscana

Region: Tuscany

Grape Varieties: 85% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, Canaiolo

Soil Type: Medium mixture of Pliocene origin

Winemaking: Fermentation lasts 10–15 days at controlled temperatures, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. The wine matures for at least 8 months in a combination of stainless steel, large barrels, and tonneaux.

Tasting Notes: Lifts up with an enticing bouquet of crushed sweet cherries, mint leaf and hints of freshly split pine. This is silkysmooth, with round textures and ripe red and blue fruits guided by juicy acidity. Lingers on with a resonance of raspberry and spice, tapering off gently tannic.

Food Pairing: Ideal with Tuscan cured meats, pappardelle al ragù, grilled lamb chops, and aged Pecorino cheese.
