{"product_id":"avignonesi-vino-nobile-di-montepulciano-italie","title":"Avignonesi - Vino Nobile di Montepulciano - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of Tuscany, the vineyards for this cuvée stretch around Montepulciano, across the clay-limestone and sandy hills overlooking the Val di Chiana. Avignonesi's parcels benefit from moderate altitudes, favorable temperature variations, and diverse exposure, all of which promote slow and even ripening of the grapes. The soils, rich in marine sediments and minerals, impart to the wine its elegant character, pronounced acidity, and a particularly precise expression of the local Sangiovese, known here as Sangiovese Grosso or Prugnolo Gentile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and then destemmed before spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and concrete tanks, accompanied by gentle pump-overs to extract color and structure. Maceration lasts several weeks to refine the tannins. After racking and malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for an extended period in oak barrels of varying sizes, supplemented by large containers, to preserve the expression of the Sangiovese while adding complexity and harmony to the texture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ered cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eblack fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches of violet, \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of pepper and licorice, and subtle \u003cstrong\u003ewoody\u003c\/strong\u003e accents reminiscent of cedar and vanilla.
