About the wine
The company Avignonesi owes its name to the historic founding family. After decades of research and development, the house established itself as one of the most important wine houses in Tuscany. The aim was to reveal the essence of Montepulciano's terroir. In 2009, Belgian Virginie Savery took over Avignonesi and introduced the methods of organic viticulture. Avignonesi thus produces distinctive and even more stylish wines based on the Sangiovese vine on an impressive 107 hectares of vineyards.

Tasting note
Intense red, strong bouquet of ripe, fresh wild berries such as blueberries and raspberries, licorice, ripe bananas, bacon and blackberry jelly accompanied by fine spicy notes and a touch of chocolate, in the mouth rich and dense with beautiful acidity, muscular structure, voluminous yet supple with finely polished tannins and a long finish. A wine full of character and great elegance!
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with fine game (hare, pheasant, deer), wild mushroom dishes, other sophisticated — earthy dishes and mature hard cheese.
Vinification
Temperature-controlled fermentation on the mash for 4 weeks in stainless steel tanks. The malolactic fermentation is ended in French barriques. Followed by 18 months of aging in French barriques (around a third of new ones) and a further 6 months in bottle storage. BIO-DYNAMIC
