Classified as a Rosso di Montalcino Denominazione di Origine Controllata, this wine is crafted entirely from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The 2004 vintage in this area achieved a score of 91 points and is described as elegant and classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Montalcino, a historic hill town and wine area located in the southern part of Tuscany, Italy, about 40 kilometers south of Siena. Tuscany itself is one of Italy's most iconic wine regions with viticultural roots dating back to the Etruscans. The Montalcino zone is naturally bounded by the Ombrone, Asso, and Orcia rivers. The vineyards are situated at varying altitudes ranging from 120 to over 600 meters above sea level, creating a variety of microclimates across the municipality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe climate in Montalcino is predominantly Mediterranean, generally warmer and drier than the more northern Tuscan wine regions. The area benefits from the protection of Mount Amiata to the south, which shields the vineyards from severe weather. The soil composition is highly varied depending on altitude and location; the northern part is characterized by limestone-rich marl, locally known as galestro, while the lower and more southern areas have a higher presence of clay and sandstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSangiovese is the undisputed main grape of Italy and forms the basis for Tuscany's classic wines. It is widely planted, with typical growing areas including Tuscany, Umbria, and Emilia Romagna, as well as internationally in California. In Montalcino, the grape is locally known as Sangiovese Grosso or Brunello, and it is the sole varietal used for the area's renowned red wines, including the Rosso di Montalcino DOC. This specific release has an alcohol content of 13% and a residual sugar level of 1.5 g\/l.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Collina dei Lecci SRL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57716796817734,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1786_1ba60635-806e-4b5d-a4ca-2c3ce8e86633.jpg?v=1793100337","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/rosso-di-montalcino-la-collina-dei-lecci-2004","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
