Vinification of Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG

The grapes for Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG come from biodynamically farmed vineyards around Montepulciano in Tuscany. The soil consists of limestone, sand and clay – a classic combination that gives Sangiovese depth and finesse. Thanks to the warm climate and cooling evening breezes, the grapes ripen slowly and evenly. This creates a perfect balance between sugar, acidity and aromas.

The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand in order to select only the ripest grapes. After gentle destemming, the harvest is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Only the natural yeast present on the grapes is used. This traditional method preserves the authenticity of the terroir and provides the characteristic depth of Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG.

Afterwards, the wine matures for about 18 months in large wooden casks (tonneaux and 3,000-liter barrels). Aging on the fine lees lends it structure, silky texture and aromatic complexity. This maturation brings forth subtle notes of dried fruit, vanilla and fine wood without losing its freshness.

The Avignonesi estate is among the pioneers of biodynamic agriculture in Italy. The result is a wine that not only tastes good in the glass, but also speaks of respectful interaction with nature and soil. The philosophy: minimal intervention, maximum expressiveness.

The result is a wine of impressive depth and finesse. With its elegant structure, this Vino Nobile is perfect for lovers of complex, traditional red wines. Its structure is reminiscent of old Tuscan classics, yet its precision shows the modern hallmark of the Avignonesi estate.
