Brothers Simone and Leonardo Rasetti craft this wine from 40-year-old Prugnolo Gentile vines on clay and sand at 350 m, farmed organically. Grapes are fermented with native yeasts in concrete vats, macerated for over three weeks, then matured for 24 months in large Slavonian oak botti. The 2020 offers depth and savoury nuance — black cherry, truffle, leather and tobacco balanced by lively acidity. Textured, earthy and pure, it captures the soulful character of Montepulciano’s terroir.
