Torre di Montemaggio 2018

Torre di Montemaggio is produced in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, Italy. The estate is located near Castellina in Chianti, an area renowned for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines.

The wine is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, the traditional variety of the Chianti Classico zone, often blended with small percentages of other local red varietals to enhance complexity.

• Hand-harvested grapes from estate vineyards.
• Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
• Extended maceration to extract color and tannins.
• Aging primarily in French oak barrels for approximately 12-18 months.
• Bottling after careful blending and quality control.

Torre di Montemaggio offers a deep ruby color with garnet reflections. The nose reveals aromas of ripe cherry, plum, violet, and subtle hints of spice and vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with balanced acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a persistent, elegant finish.

• Grilled red meats such as steak or lamb.
• Traditional Tuscan dishes like ribollita or wild boar ragù.
• Mature hard cheeses including Pecorino Toscano.
• Hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.
