{"product_id":"montenidoli-toscano-rosso","title":"Montenidoli Toscano Rosso","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis Toscano Rosso from Montenidoli is a pure, classically styled expression of Sangiovese from the elevated, wind-swept slopes of San Gimignano, where Elisabetta Fagiuoli has farmed organically for decades, drawing on centuries-old Tuscan traditions. The vines grow in a mosaic of soils, predominantly red clay rich in iron, mixed with marine deposits and limestone that naturally limit yields and contribute both intensity of fruit and the distinctive mineral backbone Montenidoli is known for. Grapes are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and fermented with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel, allowing for a slow, steady fermentation that captures the purity and aromatic nuance of Sangiovese. Extended maceration on the skins builds structure and savory complexity, while aging in a combination of stainless steel and large, neutral casks preserves freshness and avoids overt oak influence. In the glass, the wine is vibrant and layered: sour cherry, red plum, and wild strawberry mingle with notes of dried thyme, rose petal, anise, and subtle earthy tones reminiscent of terracotta and warm Tuscan hillsides. Medium-bodied with lively acidity and firm, finely grained tannins, it’s a beautifully balanced, terroir-driven wine that reflects both altitude and heritage. Its versatility at the table is a hallmark; pair it with tomato-based pasta, roasted poultry, grilled sausages, mushroom ragù, or simple Tuscan bean dishes where Sangiovese’s brightness and clarity can truly shine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haw River Wine Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44393881239734,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/4966\/files\/MontenidoliToscanaRosso.jpg?v=1764973244","url":"https:\/\/www.bonnieandbud.com\/products\/montenidoli-toscano-rosso","provider":"Bonnie + Bud","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
