Tasting note
The Tenuta Calimaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is an intense and vibrant shade of ruby red. On the nose, it is predominantly fruity, with hints of red fruits reminiscent of cherries and currants, as well as notes of black berries, followed by hints of undergrowth, wild flowers and spicy notes. On the palate, the tannins are dense and silky. Fresh and balanced. The finish is long.
Viticulture
Located in a historic area for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, known for its particularly ideal conditions, Calimaia is found in the gentle hills between the Val di Chiana and the Val d'Orcia. Laid out around the winery's hill, the vineyards sit at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level and are differentiated by exposure and soil type.
Vinification
Once harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (26 °C), and fermentation took place spontaneously. The wine was matured in 50 hL oak barrels for 24 months. Before being released on the market, Calimaia was aged in the bottle at our winery for the next 4 months.
Food Match
A true meditation wine, it goes well with dried fruit and sweets. Serve in normal-sized wine glasses.
