Rosso di Montepulciano DOC, Le Berne
Podere Le Bèrne is a farm which occupies about 21 hectares, 10 hectares of which are covered by vineyards. It was founded at the end of the 1960s at the end of the typical Italian share-cropping system, by the Natalini family.
During the years, they have linked the ancient artisan systems of production with modern techniques. Constant attention, passion, competence and care for the cultivation, vinification and ageing are all aspects which characterize Podere Le Bèrne wines, which have been sold by the litre for years and now finally have been bottled and labelled.
The production area is in Cervognano, the heart of the terroir in which Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is produced.
The 4 hectares of vineyards are situated in a slightly hilly area with excellent exposure to the sun.
The name Le Bèrne, in fact, derives from a late Etruscan or Latin term (Verna or Verena) meaning “hillock”.
Rosso di Montepulciano, has always been produced in Montepulciano, but it obtained DOC certification only in 1989.
It is made with the same kinds of grapes used to produce Vino Nobile, but it is younger than Vino Nobile.
Its color is ruby red tending to purple and it has a fruity and winy perfume, such as strawberry and raspberry, in the mouth, is well balanced, persistent and slightly tannic with a good acidity contrast.
This wine is fit for all foods.
