Cellar
Fossacolle is a small jewel-cellar with only 4 hectares of land in the southern area of Montalcino. It is three generations united by a passion for wine. Marchetti Sergio, the owner of the winery, is part of an ancient family whose origins date back to the 18th century. The descendants of this family lived and worked as farmers in the lands of a great and noble family. At the beginning of the 1980s, the owner of these lands, selling the land where the Marchetti family lived, decided to donate the 'Podere Fossacolle' to them, so in 1984 the winemaking activity began with the first Sangiovese vineyards.
Description
The Rosso di Montalcino from the Tuscan winery Fossacolle is made from Sangiovese grosso grapes from the youngest vineyard. It is a wine of great freshness in the aromas
fruity and perfectly balanced with a structure, which already reveals a lot of roundness.
Organoleptic characteristics:
It has a dark ruby red colour. The nose shows great freshness in the fruity aromas, which is supported by delicate tertiary aromas that make this glass very interesting. The considerable alcohol content is in perfect balance with a structure, which already reveals a lot of roundness
Storage time:
10 years
Vinification
After a cold pre-fermentation for several days, they are vinified at a controlled temperature with frequent pumping over, punching down and delestage to optimise extraction from the skins during alcoholic fermentation.
