Le Berne Rosso Di Montepulciano 2024

Podere Le Bèrne is located in the Cervognano region southeast of Montepulciano (see map below).  Its vineyards are at about 350m elevation and oriented south towards Trasimeno Lake, which provides a cooling effect during the summer. The estate started making wines in the 1960s.  Today, Andrea Natalini farms and manages the 21-hectare estate (including 12 ha of vines in 5 different parcels) and makes the wines with Paolo Vagaggini, one of Tuscany’s most famous consulting enologists. 

Andrea uses organic methods in the vineyard and makes the wines using native yeast, matures the wines in a combination of large Slavonian oak botti and small French oak barriques, and gives the Vino Nobile wines at least 8 months in bottle before release.

For more everyday situations, their Rosso di Montepulciano is light and silky with crunchy fruit and firm acidity.
