PIAN DEL CIAMPOLO 2009, MONTEVERTINE

TASTING NOTES

"This wine is made nearly entirely of Sangiovese, with a bit of Canaiolo and Colorino- indigenous Italian grapes blended in to help balance the wine. This is the estate's entry level wine and offers fantastic value for money at £19.95. It has aromas of dark berry, charcoal and leather, with the usual gamey/earthy notes you would expect from Sangiovese. Absolute taste!" - Paul Hannagen, wine advisor.

PRODUCER NOTES

In 1967, Sergio Manetti, at that time a manufacturer of steel products, bought Montevertine as a holiday house and decided to restore it to its original dwelling destination, and right from the beginning, he planted two hectares of wine and he set up a small cellar. The idea was to produce some wine for friends and customers. The first vintage produced, 1971, was more than decent and Sergio Manetti decided to present some bottles at Italy’s leading wine show, Vinitaly in Verona, via the Chamber of Commerce of Siena. That was an immediate success and Mr. Manetti was so enthusiastic about it that only a few years later he decided to give up his main former activity, in order to dedicate all his efforts exclusively to winemaking. New vineyards were planted, new cellars installed, and that activity has been continued without any interruption. Montevertine is in constant expansion and improvement.
