Élevage in cement tanks ( 60 Hl) for 6 months and then in the bottle. Fattoria del Monticino Rosso has different plots located in two differents valleys which are closed to each other. Valle del Senio, which takes the name from the Senio River, is surrounded by forests, which mitigate the temperatures in the area and bring significant temperature ranges. Valle del gesso literally “Chalk Valley” is so called precisely because of the presence of chalk in the soils, a characteristic that, together with the hills on which the vineyards are planted, contributes to the minerality and elegance of the local Sangiovese.
