Luteraia

Nobile di Montepulciano 2017 - DOCG

“Sergio’s dream”

We call this wine "The Fenix", because it managed to survive the worst adverse weather conditions. In 2017, the frost in April destroyed 70% of the vineyard, then scorching heat forced us to harvest it at the end of August, when we usually harvest at the end of September. A soft, gentle, non-demanding wine, with a sweetness all its own, very flattering and pleasant.

Luteraia with its sometimes ruby, sometimes purple or garnet colours, ferments in steel and then matures in prestigious French oak tonneaux for at least a year, so as to make the wine harmonious, structured and expertly full-bodied. The refinement in the bottle for a minimum of four years is the most important part, in which Luteraia rests and harmonizes so as to generate the best bouquets. Luteraia warms the hearts of connoisseurs by making the Montepulciano terroir felt in its body.

The wine that represents the company, the Luteraia, the wine made in the "cooper" soil, that is, rich in sulfur and minerals that remind us of the remote volcanic past of our areas. A wine that every year tells the story of the vintage, a wine that in every bottle tells the story of our family, a daily and concrete commitment to safeguarding our traditions.
