- Vigneto Santa Pia 2019 is ruby red. The nose offers notes of red fruit, spices, balsamic hints of elderflowers, and sweet vanilla notes. The palate is rich and mouth-filling, with close-knit tannins sustained by excellent freshness accompanying a persistent finish. The aftertaste echoes aromas on the nose, especially vanilla and hints of citrus fruit.
Grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed and gently crushed. The must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation occurred at a controlled temperature of 26-28 °C (80-82 °F) to preserve Sangiovese’s typical aromas. Maceration on the skins lasted 20 days, using delicate mechanical techniques to extract soft, supple tannins. Once malolactic fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to 500-litre tonneaux for barrel ageing, which lasted approximately 12 months. The wine was then aged in the bottle for at least one year before being released.
Santa Pia is produced from a 15-hectare (37-acre) vineyard in Santa Pia, located on the ridges just below the town of Montepulciano. This particular area has sandy, loamy soils
rich in rocky deposits known as “scheletro” that allow the Antinori to create an elegant yet traditional expression of the Sangiovese grape that reflects the characteristics of this historic winemaking area. The first vintage to be produced was in 2001.
