Winemaker Notes

After the harvest in the first days of October, the vinification happens mixing together all the 3 different grape varieties, Prugnolo Gentile, Canaiolo and Colorino, since the beginning, otherwise the must could have rejections. Follows a fermentation with a long maceration, for at least 20 days. This Nobile is released on the market after the second year of aging both in French and Slavonian barrels. Great intensity and structure. The nose reveals a delicate scent of violet. On the palate it conveys a pleasant plum taste and dry flavor.


The Story

The origin of this winery is extremely ancient, the oldest sources would trace the origins around the year 1000 AD furthermore they follow ancient Etruruans wine techniques. What is certain is that already in the mid-fourteenth century the Contucci were among the most prominent families in the city of Montepulciano. Their cellar is very old with natural thick walls, allowing them to keep the temperature steady. The vineyards of this winery are located in one of the best production areas, the altitude varies between 280 and 450 meters and the soils are mainly of Pliocene origin.
