Montecucco Sangiovese D.O.C.G.

The Wine

Vigne a Porrona is located in the municipality of Cinigiano, in the province of Grosseto, right in the heart of the Maremma backcountry, between the Valle dell’Ombrone, the Val d’ Orcia and the western slopes of Monte Amiata.
Here, soils rich in mineral substances, the Mediterranean climate and the presence of constant ventilation allow perfect ripening of the grapes that will be turned into Montecucco DOCG.
Tasting: The 2020 vintage stands out for its aromas of floral, red fruits (cherries and blackberries), pleasantly woody and spicy notes. Medium-full body with silky tannins. In the mouth great freshness and pleasantness of taste with savoury persistence.
