The grapes of Rosso dei Monti della Cantina Napolini are harvested manually in the second half of September, selecting only healthy and ripe bunches. After pressing and destemming, the must ferments in contact with the skins for a period of between 15 and 20 days. This prolonged maceration allows the extraction of color, aromas and tannins from the grapes. At the end of fermentation, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks for aging for 12 months. This process allows the wine to refine and soften the tannins. Subsequently, Rosso dei Monti is bottled and refined in the bottle for at least 3 months before being released for sale.

The Rosso dei Monti from Cantina Napolini is a wine with an intense ruby ​​red color, with purple reflections. On the nose it is complex and persistent, with notes of ripe red fruit (cherry, blackberry), spices (black pepper, cloves) and balsamic hints. With a good structure, with well-integrated tannins and a lively acidity that balances its softness, the olfactory sensations are found on the palate, with a long and persistent finish. Its structure and complexity make it an ideal companion for grilled or stewed red meat dishes, game, mature cheeses and cured meats.
