Il Conventino Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

The Montepulciano (Tuscany) region and its environs boast a storied past that harks back to the era of the Etruscans, an ancient civilization that inhabited the area prior to the Roman incursion. It is believed that the Etruscans were already engaged in viticulture and winemaking in this locale, and the vinous tradition has been perpetuated through the centuries to the present day. Il Conventino stands as a testament to this rich heritage, crafting wines that carry forth the legacy of this time-honored land, particularly renowned for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a high-quality red wine predominantly made from the quintessential grape variety sangiovese.

An exemplar of this expertise is presented in Il Conventino Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a wine hailing from twenty hectares of vineyards nestled in the heart of Montepulciano's viticultural zone, straddling the Val di Chiana and Val d'Orcia. It is a blend crafted mainly from sangiovese complemented by other local red varieties such as prugnolo gentile, mammolo, canaiolo, and colorino, which are planted in clayey soils at an elevation of 350-400 meters above sea level. As one of the area's pioneers in achieving organic certification, the vineyards are organically farmed and the grapes are hand-harvested with meticulous selection in the vineyard of the finest fruit. In the winery, the grapes are destemmed and pressed to initiate a spontaneous fermentation with a short maceration at controlled temperatures for 15 days. Subsequently, the wine matures in Slavonian oak barrels for a minimum of 24 months.

A domain whose traces transport us to the times of the Etruscans, Il Conventino Vino Nobile di Montepulciano embodies this oenological tradition with its fragrant, well-rounded, and balanced character. A wine of classic style, with significant evolutionary potential, it encapsulates the very essence of Montepulciano. A homage to the enduring vinicultural legacy that has withstood the test of time.
