Denomination: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG
Vineyard: Vigna del Nocio
Vintage: 2015
Production Area: Cervognano, Montepulciano (SI)
Grapes: 100% Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile)
Vinification: After careful selection of grapes in the vineyard, the bunches are destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation occurs in oak vats that are filled to no more than two-thirds capacity and use indigenous yeasts. The fermentation lasts about ten days at a controlled temperature of about 27-31°C. Short pumping overs are carried out in the initial phase, and manual punching down of the cap. In some cases, maceration continues for another 7-10 days after fermentation.
Maturation: The single Nocio Cuvées are aged separately in Slavonian or French oak with a capacity ranging from 5 to 10 hl. Maturation lasts from 18 to 24 months. The final blend is made at the end of the maturation using different percentages of the single Cuvées and according to the characteristics of the harvest.
Ageing in the bottle: for about a year before release.
Bottles per year: approximately 5,000
Format: 0.75lt
Ageing potential: Nocio can age for decades. However, the optimal maturation period varies according to the vintage, generally from the fifth year following harvest.
Pairings: first courses based on game meat, a game in general and aged cheeses.
