TorCalvano Rosso di Montepulciano D.O.C.

The Wine

The red of Montepulciano Torcalvano is the version of pure Sangiovese with a more contemporary character thanks to its marked qualities of youthfulness of the fruit and freshness typical of the grape. It goes perfectly with all traditional Tuscan dishes and beyond.
