✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Zonin family, whose winemaking legacy dates back to 1821, Montemajone is an evocative expression of Tuscany's rolling hills and rich viticultural heritage. This red wine is anchored by Sangiovese, the noble grape of Tuscany, which thrives in the region's classic galestro and alberese soils. The terroir imparts a signature minerality and vibrant acidity to the grape, which is carefully blended with traditional Tuscan varietals. Vinified with a combination of modern temperature-controlled fermentation and traditional oak aging, Montemajone strikes a harmonious balance between bright red cherry fruit, dried herbs, and subtle rustic earthiness, capturing the warm, rustic soul of the Tuscan countryside.
