Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano 2020

Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano is a dry red wine, elegantly crafted from predominantly Sangiovese grapes, alongside a blend of other local varietals, cultivated in the Montepulciano region of Tuscany, Italy. This wine stands as a testament to Avignonesi's commitment to organic farming and biodynamic viticulture practices, aimed at expressing the true essence of the region's terroir through a more accessible, yet deeply authentic, expression of the Sangiovese grape. Renowned for its approachable style and early drinkability, the Rosso di Montepulciano offers a harmonious introduction to the traditional wines of Tuscany, reflecting the winery's dedication to quality and sustainability.

Winery named after the first owners - the Avignonesi family. Since its foundation, it has experienced an exciting journey. Virginia Saverisa acquired the Avignonesi distillery in 2009. Avignonesi has become a leader in biodynamic viticulture in Italy. Since its acquisition, and thanks to Virginia's respect for the ecosystem, its employees and end consumers, the winery has begun to produce and make organic wines that are truly authentic in their origins.

The Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano presents a vibrant array of red fruit aromas, including cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of violets and spices, leading to a palate that balances these juicy fruit flavors with soft tannins and a lively acidity. The finish is smooth and inviting, making it a versatile and enjoyable wine for a wide range of occasions.

This wine pairs beautifully with traditional Tuscan dishes, such as pappardelle with a wild boar ragù or grilled lamb, where its fruitiness and acidity complement the richness and textures of the food. It also makes an excellent match for medium-aged cheeses, creating a delightful combination of flavors that enhances the enjoyment of both the wine and the cheese.
