The four hectares of the Monte Santoccio estate are spread across small hillside plots at around 300 metres, exposed to the wind and trained on the pergola trentina system on free-draining limestone soils and alluvial areas. This airy terroir yields healthy grapes, suited to late harvesting and long drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes, harvested slightly overripe and sorted by hand, are left to dry in crates in the fruttaio until the depths of winter. A thirty-day cold pre-maceration precedes a very slow alcoholic fermentation of about a month, at a temperature that never exceeds 18 °C. The wine is then aged for twenty-four months in 500-litre French oak barrels. The 2019 vintage, a great classic, produced a timeless cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eprune\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebitter almond\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecandied cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edried fig\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eclove\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecocoa\u003c\/strong\u003e.
