The secret of this exceptional Rosso lies hidden in the blossoming fields amongst the organically farmed rows of vines at Poliziano. Fiori Rossi – — a name that hints, like a promise, at the fragrance and poetry of this landscape, where Federico Carletti is pushing the boundaries of authenticity. This latest creation from the estate is made from ancient Prugnolo Gentile clones, selections of which gave Montepulciano wines national renown as far back as the Middle Ages. From the historic vineyards dating back to the 1960s – now replanted at altitudes of 300 to 400 metres with meticulous attention to the microclimate – emerges a ‘Super-Rosso’ of unrivalled character.

Eight months in large French oak barrels lend this 100 per cent Sangiovese an almost Burgundian finesse, whilst intense ruby hues bear witness to the purity of organic cultivation. Wild berries and sour cherries on limestone, a hint of bay leaf and complex peppery notes unfold into a medley of aromas that blends history and modernity. A wine that is in a completely different league to ordinary Rosso di Montepulciano. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2024 Rosso di Montepulciano Fiori Rossi is wickedly fresh. A whiff of chalk dust gives way to violet pastille, citrus zest and crushed sour cherry aromas. It's jovial and spry with bright wild berry fruits and a tactile mineral crunch. It finishes clean with medium length and a lovely inner tension." Vinous

"Fresh, fragrant and floral, with subtle notes of violet, pomegranate and white pepper. Extremely focused and precise, with crisp, lively acidity, medium body and velvety tannins. The tight finish has both substance and balance." James Suckling
