'Poggio Lombrone Montecucco' by ColleMassari is the Cru of Sangiovese from old vineyards, located at about 300 meters. above sea level. The vineyards are organic, consequently the yield is reduced to only 60 quintals per hectare. A long fermentation in open truncated conical vats, followed by an 18-month refinement in large 30 hl oak barrels, give a complex and full-bodied red wine with notes of menthol, laurel, black cherry, plums and currants. The tannins are compact and velvety. Despite its complexity and roundness, the aftertaste is very fresh and elegant. Perfect to accompany game-based dishes, grilled meat, mushroom-based dishes, dishes with truffles and seasoned mountain cheeses.
