Vin Santo Occhio di Pernice Production
Region and Territory
Vin Santo di Montepulciano originates in the picturesque Val di Chiana area, where the producer Avignonesi stretches between Montepulciano and Cortona.
This region, located in the province of Arezzo, is renowned for its rich diversity of soils, which allow the cultivation of grape varieties such as Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, in addition to Sangiovese, used for this fine wine.
Here, terroir contributes significantly to the complexity and depth of Vin Santo.
Vinification Process
The production of Vin Santo di Montepulciano by Avignonesi is an art that requires dedication and patience.
The wine is made from 100 percent Sangiovese grapes, selected with the utmost care.
After harvest, the grapes are dried for many months on bamboo mats, a traditional method that further concentrates the flavors and aromas.
The long winemaking process continues with 10 years of aging in oak barrels.
During this time, more than half of the liquid evaporates, giving the wine an extraordinary concentration.
Contact with the mother yeast, which is over 100 years old, further enriches the wine’s profile.
Each 375 ml bottle requires an amount of grapes that would be sufficient to produce twenty-four 750 ml bottles of wine, highlighting the exclusivity and rarity of this Vin Santo.
