Bottled directly at the estate, this wine holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata classification. Tuscany is celebrated for its rolling hills and deep viticultural roots that trace back to the Etruscans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin southern Tuscany lies Montalcino, a historic hill town situated about 40 kilometers south of Siena. The zone is naturally bounded by the Ombrone, Asso, and Orcia rivers. Montalcino features a Mediterranean climate that is generally warmer and drier than the northern Tuscan wine regions, and it benefits from the protection of Mount Amiata to the south, which shields the area from severe weather. The 1986 vintage in this area achieved a score of 84 points and is described as fresh and firm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards across the Montalcino municipality are situated at varying altitudes, ranging from 120 to over 600 meters above sea level, creating a multitude of microclimates. The soil composition depends heavily on elevation and location; the northern part is characterized by a limestone-rich marl known locally as galestro, while the lower and more southern areas contain higher amounts of clay and sandstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is produced exclusively from Sangiovese, the undisputed main grape of Italy. While Sangiovese is cultivated in areas such as Umbria, Emilia-Romagna, and California, it is the foundational grape for Tuscany's most classic wines. In Montalcino, the grape is locally referred to as Sangiovese Grosso or Brunello. While the area's highest classification is Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, the Rosso di Montalcino DOC is also made from pure Sangiovese, following specific production requirements within the same geographical boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quercecchio di Maria Grazia Salvioni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57143042933062,"sku":null,"price":145.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-736_43c35f48-8fe7-4a4a-b413-cdf4b4ec44db.jpg?v=1786971829","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/rosso-di-montalcino-quercecchio-1986","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
