MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO DOC
FOSSO CANCELLI
Fosso Cancelli Montepulciano reflects the ancient soul of the winery and the historical traditions of fermentation and aging in concrete. Fosso Cancelli is the name that was marked on an ancient stone post found at the corner of our vineyard that is home to our most venerable Montepulciano vines. This most ancient plot of vines on the Loreto Aprutino estate is displayed on the label and marks the strict bond with the territory. The best grapes are selected and then crushed in our ancient press after which the must is transferred in concrete tanks. The fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeast and is left uncontrolled. At the end of the fermentation, the decuvage (digging out and pressing the cap) is done, the new wine is left to rest for one year in concrete tanks. The wine then spends a further three years of refinement in the bottle.
