2019 Rosso di Montalcino, Pinino

Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

An elegant and harmonious expression of Sangiovese, with plenty of ripe raspberry and cherry fruit framing the full and velvety texture, through to a long, spicy finish.

The Pinino estate vineyards are located in the north of Montalcino with the Canchi vineyard in the north-east, facing south and south-west respectively. The vineyards are embedded like a natural amphitheatre into the beautiful and famous hillside of Montosoli. This distinctive geographical location has become known as one of the best areas of the region for wine production. The Sangiovese grapes are grown at an altitude of 310 to 320 metre, where the lower temperatures allow the grapes to express their finesse. The soil is rich in galestro (a rocky, clay-schistous soil with a flaky texture and free draining properties), clay and tuff.

The Pinino winery is based in the picturesque town of Montalcino in Tuscany and has a long winemaking history, dating back to 1874. Since 1950, Pinino has been inscribed in the Brunello register of winemakers, and in 2003, Spaniard Max Hernandez and Austrian Andrea Gamon pursued their passion for producing quality wines and purchased the estate. For Max – whose father had been a winemaker in Toro – it also signified an adventure leading him back to his family’s roots. Together they have invested in the estate, they quadrupled the cultivation area to 16 hectares with the addition of the Canchi vineyard and transformed the estate, producing world-class wines. The vineyards are cultivated sustainably, following the Agriqualità standards. This family-run winery produces award-winning wines with incredible structure, elegance and great longevity.

The carefully selected fruit was vinified in temperature controlled 100 hectolitre stainless steel vats. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts at approximately 24 to 26 °C, followed by maceration lasting 10 days at 28 to 30 °C to extract the colour, flavour and tannins. Daily tastings took place to ensure the desired levels of extraction were achieved. The wine was aged in 20 to 25 hectolitre Slavonian oak vats for nine months.
