Vinification and refinement
Our Filicheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is produced and refined in the heart of the production area, between Val D’Orcia and Valdichiana, from vineyards situated in a countryside rich in monuments, villas and country homes. We follow the traditional vinification methods: completely mature grapes are harvested from vineyards and processed in membrane presses. The fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures with a prolonged maceration with the skins. The minimum ageing period is 24 months in traditional Tuscan casks. Thanks to its character, the Vino Nobile has a great aging potential.
Wine descriptionColour: Ruby red colour tending to garnet with ageing.
Bouquet: Characteristic bouquet, delicate with notes of violets and typical aromas of tobacco and leather.
Taste: Great tannins on the palate, dry and harmonious.
Food pairingsIdeal with all Mediterranean dishes, roast, game meat and spicy cheese. Serve at room temperature.
Story and curiosityThe origin of Vino Nobile goes back to the 17th century, when it was defined «The King of Tuscan Wines» (Francesco Redi, Bacco in Toscana). Doubtlessly drunk and appreciated by aristocrats and gentlemen (hence its name) this wine has transcended its fame to modern times. In the last 15 years (it was given the D.O.C.G. in 1980), Castellani took part to the renewal of the excellence of this wine, thanks to increased financial energies and up-dated philosophy. The improved vineyard management and modernization in the cellars have elevated the quality level of our Vino Nobile. Today it is considered one of the most prestigious red Italian wines.
Prugnolo Gentile grape is often referred to as sangiovese grosso with very similar characteristics to the sangiovese.
