Quick Overview

Sangiovese Rubicone IGT. The maximum expression of the Montecatone estate, here the vineyard has really given its soul.
It’s a 100% Sangiovese wine that originates from vineyards exposed to an exasperated thinning to obtain a structure that is suitable for an aging of at least two years in barrels.
 Ideal with red and braised meats, also recommended with game.
