WINE DESCRIPTION

Montepeloso Gabbro Toscana is a premium red wine produced by Montepeloso, a renowned winery located in the Tuscan region of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown in the vineyards located on the hillsides of the Maremma appellation. The vineyards are characterized by their unique soil composition, which is rich in gabbro, a volcanic rock that imparts a distinct mineral character to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with a complex aroma of dark fruit, spices, and earthy notes. It has a firm tannic structure and a long, persistent finish, making it an ideal choice for pairing with hearty meat dishes.
