Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano DOC 2018

The winery is named after the Avignonesi family, the founders of the original estate.

Constant research and development aimed at expressing the true character of the Montepulciano terroir has, over time, earned the winery a well-deserved place among the flagship producers of Tuscany.

In 2009, Avignonesi was acquired by Virginie Saverys who has since introduced organic and biodynamic farming methods to craft distinct, genuine wines with an even stronger character, and has acquired additional vineyards and a state-of-the-art winemaking facility in the Montepulciano appellation.

We believe that the life force of the earth and the uniqueness of our terroir are at the heart of our brand. Avignonesi is reborn from the soil of our vineyards with each vintage in wines that mirror the subtle flavours of the site and the special traits of each year. Our wines express the richness and beauty of the Montepulciano territory. We respect the heritage of Montepulciano, where Sangiovese wines have been produced for centuries, and we wish to contribute to its future by being the finest representative of its heritage that we can be.

We respect the innate character of each wine and seek to follow its natural evolutionary path from the soil to the cellar and - finally - to the bottle.

Se specifikation

The Rosso di Montepulciano is the youngest of our Sangiovese trio, which also includes the Vino Nobile and the Grandi Annate. It has been lightly aged in oak and is perfect for pairing with "antipasti", light pasta dishes or poultry. 

Tasting 

Medium ruby red colour with typical varietal aromas, including wild cherries and red currant, underlined by a light, balsamic touch. The taste is round and distinct, with a long, delicately spicy finish.
