An imposing mountain, therefore, also an imposing wine. Fosso Corno, a young winery, traces its origins back to 2001. That year, brother and sister Biscardo founded this magnificent winery in the heart of Abruzzo. Marco and Sabrina wanted to focus on the region's most famous grape, Montepulciano. Fosso Corno now owns over 30 hectares of vineyards located on just one hill. This hill is divided into 17 different vineyards, each with a different terroir and a different orientation to the sun. These different influences from the same hill create a unique and beautiful difference.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e 12 months of wood aging for this red wine \u003c\/h2\u003eSpecially for this Fosso Corno Il Grande Silenzio, Fosso Corno used an ancient Tuscan method. This method bears the name \"Governo all'uso Toscano.\" It's a method that has created the beautiful character of this wine. This red wine is made from 100% Montepulciano grapes, sourced from Fosso Corno's finest plots. When the grapes in the vineyards have reached the right ripeness, 50% are harvested by hand and vinified classically. The remaining 50% is harvested using the Governo all'uso Toscano method. This literally means \"cutting the branches.\" This cuts off the nutrient supply to the grapes. These grapes remain on the vines until early October. By then, the grapes have dried thoroughly, after which they are harvested. Because these grapes contain less juice, the flavors are much more concentrated. This is what makes this red wine so unique. After vinification, this red Il Grande Silenzio is aged entirely in French oak barrels for over 12 months. The wine then spends a further few months in the bottle to fully mature.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhy buy Fosso Corno Il Grande Silenzio?\u003c\/h2\u003e The stunning final result makes Fosso Corno immensely proud of this wonderful wine. When poured, the characteristic ruby ​​red color of Montepulciano is immediately apparent. The oak aging makes it somewhat more intense than an unaged wine. Gently swirling the glass with Fosso Corno reveals promising aromas of plums, dried berries, black tea, walnuts, and a hint of vanilla. This further stimulates our senses. With our mouths to the glass, we carefully savor this wine. We noted a full-bodied and complex red wine with delicious flavor nuances of blackcurrant, licorice, vanilla, and slightly spicy notes. The pleasant tannins make this red wine wonderfully full-bodied yet not too heavy on the finish. A wine to enjoy by the fire, but also with delicious dishes like rabbit stew, roast beef, or hearty pasta dishes.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775760470095,"sku":"5511","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/il-grande-montepulciano-fosso-corno_5511.webp?v=1770046393"},{"product_id":"fosso-corno-riserva","title":"Fosso Corno Riserva","description":"Good, better, best! Every winery has a gem. For Fosso Corno, it's this fantastic Riserva, which also offers excellent value for money. A truly beautiful wine for this price range! Fosso Corno, a young winery, traces its origins back to 2001. That year, brother and sister Biscardo founded this magnificent winery in the heart of Abruzzo. Marco and Sabrina wanted to focus on the region's most famous grape, Montepulciano. Fosso Corno now owns over 30 hectares of vineyards, situated on a single hill. This hill is divided into 17 different vineyards, each with a different terroir and a different orientation to the sun. These different influences from the same hill create a unique and beautiful difference.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e 12 months of wood aging for this red wine \u003c\/h2\u003eThe finest vineyards, filled with Montepulciano grapes, shine on the beautiful slopes where Fosso Corno's 30 hectares of vineyards are located. Only the best is good enough for this red wine. That's why the grapes for this red wine are treated like kings. Each grape receives the necessary attention in the vineyards. The Montepulciano grapes for this red wine are grown in a sunny spot, where they also receive sufficient cooling from the influence of the Adriatic Sea. This sea is a beautiful view from the vineyards. To ensure the quality of the grapes remains excellent, only a limited number of bunches grow per plant. The remaining bunches are pruned away so that all nutrients are distributed among the needed bunches. When the grapes have reached the right ripeness at the end of September or sometimes even in early October, the manual harvest begins. This harvest begins mid-night to ensure that the cooling of the skins makes them more resistant to bruising. Another advantage is that the grapes don't oxidize prematurely. Once at the press, the grapes are gently pressed to ensure only the finest juice reaches the tanks. After vinification, this Riserva matures for over 12 months in large oak barrels, followed by another 3 months in the bottle for a phenomenal result.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe taste of the Riserva\u003c\/h2\u003e We certainly don't find it surprising that this red wine has already won numerous prestigious awards from the national and international wine press. Now, the time has come for us to judge it. First, we notice the characteristic deep ruby ​​red color of Montepulciano. When we bring our nose to the glass, we smell delicious aromas of plums and cherries, licorice, tobacco, dark chocolate, and a light toasted note. These aromas transform into a superb flavor. Complex and full, as the initial impressions suggest. Beautiful nuances of ripe red and black fruit, with cherries predominating, are followed by hints of laurel, vanilla, licorice, and soft, ripe tannins. Truly magnificent. Settle in for this red wine, grab a good book, and a glass of this Riserva. Your evening will be complete. Prefer to pair this gem with a meal? Then consider dishes with grilled red meat or braised meat.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775759454287,"sku":"5512","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/riserva-fosso-corno_5512.webp?v=1770046416"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/collections\/wijnsoort-montepulciano-dabruzzo-colline-teramane.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
