La Pineta IGT 2021 - Podere Monastero

About the wine

Domenico Clerico's classics are the two layers of Pajana and Ciabot Mentin, both from the top Ginestra location, but matured at different heights. The Ciabot Mentin from high altitude has a lot of structure and is often still closed at a young age. As he ages, he develops finesse and elegance. The Wine Spectator listed Ciabot Mentin as one of the ten best wines of the year in 2011. The plot covers 5.5 hectares. The oldest vines were planted between 1965 and 1970. The yield is 5000 kilograms per hectare. The berries are fermented in a rotor tank for 20 to 30 days, followed by 24 to 30 months of barrique aging, with four fifths of the barrels being new and one fifth old. The wine got its name from a plot of land on which Clerico had stored tools. The owner was named Mentin. Production: 22,000 bottles (75 cl) and 1000 magnum bottles.
