Three Dreamers

100% Montepulciano.

Carefully selected grapes are handpicked and put into small 5kg crates. They are dried for about 120 days in special autoclaves, developing the typical fruity aromas of natural drying and losing about 40% of their water. They are gently pressed and go through fermentation and maceration in steel tanks for 6 months.

Deep dark ruby red with violet highlights. Aromas of raisin, blackberry, sour cherry, cinnamon, vanilla and dark chocolate. A powerful rush of cocoa, with notes of jammy black currant, mocha, and toffee. The seamless, powdery tannins frames the perfect acidity; long finish.

 

“The goal of the winery is to produce wines of excellent value and quality that can be enjoyed by all wine aficionados.”
