The Castel del Monte Trentangeli from Marchesi Antinori is produced in the vineyards of the Tormaresca farm, owned by the Antinori family and located in Puglia, on the hills of Minervino Murge. It is made primarily from Aglianico grapes, with Cabernet and Syrah grapes, harvested slightly overripe to enhance their phenolic potential. The grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25 - 27°C, followed by a 15-day maceration process with frequent pump-overs and soft délestages to ensure a gradual and balanced extraction. Subsequently, the wine is placed in French and Hungarian oak barriques for malolactic fermentation, for 10 months before being bottled. This is followed by a further 9-month period of aging in the bottle.

Tasting notes:

A wine with a ruby red color enriched with violet reflections. The nose presents a fruity and spicy bouquet, with pleasant hints of blueberries, mulberries, and currants, enriched by notes of pepper and licorice. On the palate, it is rich and pleasant, with a good structure and a persistent finish. Aging in barrique gives this wine remarkable finesse and elegance.
