The vineyards are located at the foot of Monte Amiata, a short distance from Montalcino, in a part of Tuscany where warmth, ventilation, and altitude combine to produce ripe grapes with clear structure. The 2019 harvest was consistent, with spring rains providing sufficient water reserves and a summer without extreme heat. This results in a Montecucco Sangiovese with ripe red fruit, spiciness, firm tannins, and the depth of aging in 500-liter tonneaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"725\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"853\"\u003eThis wine comes from Montecucco, a DOCG area in the Maremma where Sangiovese develops a powerful and spicy Tuscan style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"880\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigne a Porrona is located in the municipality of Cinigiano, in the province of Grosseto.

In 1911, the historic Tuscan wine name Ruffino came into the family's hands, after which Nino Folonari consciously opted for quality over mass production in the 1960s. Since 2000, Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari have continued this course with their own Tuscan estates in important wine regions, including Vigne a Porrona in the Maremma, where Sangiovese plays the main role in Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eigen Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45172230946895,"sku":"0360","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/SpallettiMontecuccoDOCG2019.webp?v=1778060280","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/products\/spalletti-poggio-reale-montecucco-sangiovese-docg-2019","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
