Montioni Umbria Rosso I.G.T.

This easygoing yet characterful red comes straight from the heart of Umbria, blending 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot for a perfect mix of Italian tradition and smooth-drinking charm.

The grapes are hand-picked in early September from the Montioni family's vineyards, then gently fermented in steel tanks with a short skin maceration at controlled temperatures. After that, the wine rests and refines in the bottle for around four months before it’s ready to enjoy.

In the glass, it shows off a deep ruby red colour with lovely garnet highlights. The nose is full of personality – think cherries soaked in alcohol, a touch of spice, and that classic Umbrian warmth. On the palate, it’s fresh, balanced, and surprisingly versatile, with just the right mix of dry and juicy notes.

Whether you’re tucking into a hearty pasta with meat sauce, a rich risotto, or a plate of cured meats, this wine’s got you covered. No need to decant or wait around – pop it open and pour. It’s just as at home at the dinner table as it is served by the glass with snacks before dinner.
