About this winery
Tenute del Cerro represents the realization of a big oenological project, which started in 1978 with the acquisition of the first two estates: Montecorona in Umbertide (Perugia) and Fattoria del Cerro in Acquaviva di Montepulciano (Siena). Three other estates: La Poderina in Montalcino (Siena), Còlpetrone in Gualdo Cattaneo (Perugia) and Monterufoli in Monteverdi Marittimo (Pisa) joined later.

Production notes
Fermentation and maceration at controlled temperature (24°-26°C) with daily pump-overs; after racking, the wine will continue its aging for 4 months in large barrels.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red with violet highlights. Aromas of black cherry, cherry, balsamic, and herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is supple yet full-bodied, with a medium body and good length. A simple, everyday wine for pasta dishes with meat sauce, mushrooms, or grilled chicken. Pairs with red meats
