Vintage Report

The 2018 vintage in Tuscany is rated excellent and is known for wines with a firm tannic structure. The wines are still youthful and need time in the cellar to reach their full potential.

Close your eyes and imagine the Tuscan landscape. Rolling hills and narrow mountain roads. Lanes lined with rows of cypress trees. Olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see. Mountain villages where food and drink abound. A table lavishly laid out on the veranda of an old Italian cottage. Smell the Italian cuisine and imagine a glass of wine in your hand. That glass of wine is this Pasiteo Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from the Fassati winery. All of this immediately came to mind when we first tasted this wine. What an exquisite glass of wine! So complex, so exquisite! Grandiose and wonderful. Nothing but superlatives for this Fassati wine.

The tradition of the Fassati winery

Fassati is an ancient Tuscan winery in the Chianti region. It was founded in 1913 by the Marquis Fassati and named in honor of its founder. Since 1925, the Fassati winery has proudly held the title of "Pope Supplier," awarded by the Prefect of the Sant'Apostolico di Fassati. In 1969, the winery, managed by new owners, acquired several vineyards in the best production areas and began producing Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The vineyards are all numbered and classified, allowing for better tracking and understanding of the vine and its potential. This philosophy continues to this day, respecting the ancient traditions that have characterized the area and the Fassati name. Pasiteo originates from the Caggiole and Graccianello areas of the Fassati region, covering 70 hectares of vineyards in the heart of the Montepulciano hills. The vinification process concludes with malolactic fermentation at a controlled temperature, followed by a long aging period of two years in a vast cellar. Some of the wine is aged in 20-26 hectoliter oak barrels and some in small barriques of varying capacity and origin. The wine is then refined in the bottle for approximately six months.

The rich aromas of Pasiteo Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano

It has an intense ruby red color with violet highlights. On the nose, it offers a rich, delicate, and intense aroma of mature fruit, acacia, and vanilla honey, with floral and spicy woody notes. On the palate, it is complete, rich in blueberries, with pleasant hints of ripe plums and excellent tannins, demonstrating noble elegance. Delicious and exquisite!
