100% Montepulciano from two biodynamically farmed parcels. These are the last of De Fermo's vines to be harvested, ensuring maximum ripeness. The bunches are de-stemmed by hand and fermented in concrete, then aged in large Stockinger oak barrels for 18 months. Bottled without fining or filtration.
Deeply colored and opaque in the glass, the wine bursts with sappy blackberry fruit, grilled plum, cocao nib, licorice, and baking spices. Concentrated and dense on the palate, the powerful berry fruit flavors are perfectly balanced by elegant violet and clove notes. An impressive red wine that is never tiresome or overwhelming.
