Grenache travels far and takes on a different name everywhere: Garnacha in Spain, Cannonau in Sardinia, Alicante on the Tuscan coast. The same Mediterranean soul everywhere – light in colour, bright red fruit, effortless drinkability. On the coast, it is one of the oldest grape varieties; in Montebamboli it has been growing for over 22 years, exposed to the south-east, on iron-rich, acidic soils at an altitude of 371 metres. This combination changes the character. What sometimes tends to be broad in warm, flat areas finds its tension on the cool, windy slopes of the Parco dei Montioni. Open fermentation vats, 20 to 30% whole bunches depending on the vintage, 20 days of maceration at 20 to 25 °C with gentle extraction – then exclusively concrete, 6 to 9 months. No wood to mask the fruit.

Light, bright ruby red with hibiscus reflections. Cherry, pomegranate, strawberry, blood orange on the nose – white pepper, thyme, laurel and garrigue. Voluminous on the palate and at the same time remarkably light, with low tannins, juicy freshness and a round, inviting final. Served slightly chilled, at 12 to 14°C – and far more versatile at the table than its colour suggests. SUPERIORE.DE
