14% by Volume
Our most precious red wine.
Only the best vintages from the oldest vineyards, over 50 years old, with a very low yield per hectar are elected to be Duca di Montalbo.
The plot of land, or Cru, is crucial: the soil in the area called Montalbo is characterized by a 100% calcareous marl, a lunar landscape, extremely suited for the long ripening of the red varieties.
THE VINTAGE
2007 was a great vintage for red wines. It was characterized by a very hot summer with wide temperature ranges, until the end. These conditions lead to a perfect and exceptional maturation of the polyphenols and tannins: wines rich of polyphenolic character, but extremely fresh, with balsamic and spicy notes, smooth and velvety on the palate.
SENSORY PROFILE
An intense red color with purple shades.To the nose is fresh and elegant. Hints of fresh red fruit emerge where blackberry, raspberry and plum stand out, it closes with spicy notes, aromatic vegetal hints such as rosemary and thyme. On the palate is powerful and structured: rich in tannins of exceptional quality, silky and elegant. Full-bodied and fresh at the same time, it reveals a great persistence.
