Montepulciano, our iconic Italian Stallion exudes complexity and strength. Yields are kept extremely low to achieve perfect physiological ripeness for natural concentration, complexity and an impressive flavour profile that expresses the soul of Hans winegrowing. Real elegance, power, sumptuousness, immensity, and emotion is transmitted by tasting this nectar.

Vintage 2011

An ideal growing season for our Italian Stallion with a beautiful warm summer! We handpicked only one bunch per shoot for a tiny yield of 700g per vine culminating in full and intense concentration.

Hans’ Comment

Destemmed and whole berry combined for a wild and prolonged fermentation to extract the intense flavours and aromos of the healthy fruit. The wine was then aged for 24 months in 40% new French oak barrels on its fine lees. No fining or filtration to retain the beautiful aromas and flavours. It had an additional 12 months time to bottle age in our barrel hall.

Tasting Notes

Warning – not for the faint hearted! A heady nose, displaying aromas of cedar, warm spices, black cherries and red plums. The savoury overtones and great tannin structure offer a fantastic juicy mouthfeel. Seductive and elegant this is a wine which drinks wonderfully now and will age gracefully for a long time to come.

Food Matching Suggestions

All our wines are dry and never over extracted. Sommeliers love them for their ability to easily match with many different foods. Such a powerful wine loves of course hearty dishes but is as lovely to sip and relax at the end of the day – working wonders as a natural sleeping pill…
