Product description
Torre di Montemaggio IGT is a red Tuscan wine made from pure Merlot. It is among the fist wines that was produced at Montemaggio. Its name is derived from the 14th century tower that once stood above the old Roman road between Siena and Florence. An intense ruby colour, elegant taste, delicate bouquet, full of berry tones characterize this wine, whose full flavour and balanced acidity is highly esteemed out of the country as well. Following a careful selection of the best Merlot grapes, fermentation takes place for about 30 days at a controlled temperature (not higher than 26°C) in stainless steel and wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation undergoes in stainless steel vats. Maturation follows for about 18 months in barrels mainly for the second passage and partially in tonneaux (5 Hl).

All the way through the harvest, the grapes are harvested by hand in crates and afterwards the berry by berry is selected, and everything that does not meet top of the range criteria is eliminated. All the way through the fermentation, the temperature of the will have to is incessantly checked to preserve the entire aromas and fragrances of the future wine.
