Wine “Visconti” Rosso di Montalcino DOC, 2019

In 1990, Carla Visconti, wife of Flavio Fanti, owner of the La Palazzetta winery, decided to launch her own line of wines called “Visconti” , using the crop of the already well-established La Palazzetta winery, founded in Castelnuovo dell’Abate in 1988. Since 2018, all wines have been certified organic, biodynamic and vegan.

“Visconti” Rosso di Montalcino is made from Sangiovese grapes, which is grown in Castelnuovo del’Abate at an altitude of 365 meters above sea level on calcareous soil, rich in marble chips. The age of the vines is 15-20 years. The crop is carefully selected and harvested by hand. Vinification includes two days of cold maceration, fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks and malolactic fermentation. Exposure of wine in French oak tons lasts about 14 months. Then the wine is bottled and matures for another 4 months.
