Santini I Montali Bolgheri BIO

Tasting Notes
Notes of dark fruits and mocha – warm, generous mouthfeel, with elegant polished tannins. Sensuous and enveloping on the palate.

Vinification
The grapes were vinified separately with maceration taking place over 3 to 4 weeks in temperature controlled conditions. Following fermentation, the wine remained for nearly 12 months in small French oak barrels.

Winemaker Notes
Enrico Santini has made a name for himself as one of the most dynamic and respected producers in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC. A native of the area, he is a “garagiste” in the truest sense of the word. Enrico is meticulous in his vineyards, his wines come exclusively from his organic estate, and they radiate his profound passion. As one of the only wine producers in Bolgheri who was born and raised in the area, he has a deep commitment to the region that developed out of his love for the land and the micro-climate of this spectacular Tuscan coastal area.

Vineyard
The vineyards are located in the Bolgheri region of Toscana, where the clayey and calcareous soil components and the micro-climate help shape the grapes. The weather is Mediterranean, yet cool with the grapes ripening at the end of September.
