CABERNET SAUVIGNON - FONTECANESE igt

The masterful Fontecanese was conceived to be the best wine in Italy made with the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. After an extensive study, which scientifically mapped each microplot of the 600 hectares of Castello di Montepò vineyards, Jacopo Biondi Santi identified a tiny plot of soil in Galestro between 357 and 377 meters of altitude that produces just 250 cases of a red of rare elegance and depth. Each vineyard is cared for individually to guarantee grapes of exceptional quality. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels and another 16 months in the cellars of Castello di Montepò, the Fontecanese is complex and full of layers of flavors, which combines the typical aromas of Cabernet Sauvignon with a refreshing touch that reminds us of the best Italian wines. A wine that can evolve for decades in the cellar.

Jacopo Biondi Santi

In the heart of Maremma, Jacopo Biondi Santi and his children are writing a new chapter in their family’s history of winemaking excellence.

The Castle of Montepò, in the countryside of Scansano, is an authentic and noble Tuscany, where the lands become vineyards of legend.

The estate's 50 hectares of vineyards are exclusively dedicated to three varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a unique and precious clone: Sangiovese Grosso BBS11, where Jacopo Biondi Santi found the ideal conditions for the grape-terroir interaction to crown his ambitious wine enhancement project.

Creating a great wine means protecting its natural environment and terroir, while also caring for collective well-being.

Toscana

The name of Tuscany is synonymous with its most famous, and probably Italy’s most famous, red wine. Chianti is produced in high volumes and exported worldwide, with a distinctive personality that is difficult to define but that has somehow impressed consumers all over the world. The Sangiovese grape is the key to the region’s success, as the backbone of DOCG wines in Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Carmignano. Yet the region’s prestige is today further enhanced by the evolution of the “Super Tuscan”, wines that now rank among some of Italy’s most refined. Failing to slot into any existing DOC or DOCG category, they are now largely classed as Toscana IGT in order to avoid the humble Vino da Tavola category.
