Fattoria Montellori Dicatum

A superb Italian wine that clearly showcases the Fattoria Montellori estate's capabilities. It also beautifully reflects the Sangiovese grape's richness. Elegant notes of red fruit and balsamic hints blend, and thanks to the oak aging, this Dicatum also boasts a unique character.

Montellori's ancient wine traditions

Located between Pisa and Florence, we find the Montellori winery. It has been owned by the Nieri family since 1895. Today, the fourth generation, Alessandro Nieri, is at the helm. Bottling of Montellori wine as we know it today began in 1950. Since then, the winery has focused entirely on producing quality wines from the Tuscan wine region. And although it all began with just a few hectares, it has grown in recent years to nearly 60 hectares of vineyards. Nieri maintains the beautiful and passionate traditions his family has cultivated over the years to produce high-quality wines. He combines this with the innovative changes he is making at the winery. The 100 percent Sangiovese grapes come from the Cerreto Guidi vineyard. This vineyard is located 150 meters above sea level and has a clay-rich soil structure. The Sangiovese grapes are perfectly ripe in mid-September and are then harvested by hand. Fermentation follows almost immediately in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature at the winery. After approximately 30 days, aging takes place in large wooden barrels. This aging period is extended by two years of bottle aging, resulting in a perfectly balanced wine.
