Montepulciano is harvested by hand in the second half of October, then destemmed and fermented in vertical vats, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine matures for around 15 months in new and once-used barrels, with regular racking; it is neither fined nor heavily filtered, receiving only a light final filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C with grilled or slow-cooked red meats, lamb, rich tomato-based dishes or aged cheeses.
