The wine

From our Merlot vine fields, with sandy and rocky soils, Ontaneta is our red and third wine from the Triacca - TOP line.

Tasting Notes
Ruby red, dense and compact in colour, it is complex on the nose, with hints of macerated flowers, raspberry, delicate touches of sweet spices, chocolate and vanilla; silky and elegant tannins; well-structured, exudes personality and softness. A fruity finish with woody notes

Serving suggestions

Ideal served with rich first courses, red meats, mature cheeses, mushrooms and truffle

The vintage

A year in which the land of Montepulciano experienced constant rainfall in all seasons, which lengthened the cycle of plants, resulting in late ripening. 

Hence the decision to adopt competitive planting and avoid fertilisation, in order to limit the excessive rigour of the vines. Monitoring and fighting fungal diseases was not easy in such conditions, although results were still achieved, with good grapes and a drop of just 20% in production.
