Description
Montevecchio Sangiovese is whole berry fermented in open top vessels with natural yeasts over 3-4 weeks. The wine undergoes natural malolactic fermentation and then aged for 10 months in a large format barrel made from chestnut wood. Montevecchio wines are vegan friendly.
The 2025 vintage ended with warm dry conditions in which Sangiovese excelled in given its naturally high acid profile. With lifted perfumed notes of cherry and raspberry, sweet liquorice, red flower petals, and that classic earthy character inherent to Heathcote. It’s light to medium bodied with szechuan pepper spice, bright pulpy cherry fruit, earthy and finishes with a fine dry tannin structure.
