UMANI RONCHI Vigneto San Lorenzo, Rosso Conero, Umani Ronchi 2007 Grape Varieties 100% Montepulciano Food Matching Note: Venison and redcurrant sausages with spinach and Stilton mash, wild boar and porcini risotto, a mixed grill or any barbecued food will all benefit. Tasting Note: A rich, fruity and fully flavoured nose. On the palate it is smooth and mellow with a full, elegant, savoury character and a persistent, finely grained array of well integrated tannins, excellent balance and a firm, persistent finish. Vinification Note: Oak ageing refines the potential of the Montepulciano grape, which attains in 'San Lorenzo' an appealing taste and a mouth filling warmth of sweet and round tannins. The grapes are sourced from Umani Ronchi's best Rosso Conero vineyard of the same name, in the Osimo area, and partly from Umani Ronchi's vineyards in the Ancona area. After traditional vinification (10-12 days at 27°C with pumping over, followed by malolactic fermentation) the wine ages in oak casks for 12 months. It is then released after 6 months in the bottle.
