My name Granarijs comes from the antique toponym of Montegranaro, Mons Granarijs, known for the granaries built here by the ancient Romans.
My grapes are 70% Montepulciano, 30% Sangiovese.
I am a wine of great elegance and character, and I require a careful selection in the vineyard: only the best grapes are hand-picked, no more than 2 or 3 per plant, at their perfect ripeness.
Fermentation: in stainless steel tanks, fermentation at a controlled temperature of 26-28° C with pumping-over technique, post-fermentative maceration for further 4-5 days.
Maturation: in French Barriques 14 months.
Aging: in bottle for 6-8 months.
My color is a vivid, brilliant red with garnet tints; my perfumes – red fruits, pepper, chocolate are refined, intense and clean.
The taste is full-bodied, smooth and balanced with a long finish.
I perfectly match with: with roasts, game and red meats in general.
The utmost attention to the respect of the identities of the individual vines, aiming to make "vineyard wines", each with its specific characteristics but all with the decisive recognition of the terroir.
