Tiberini is a small biological & family-owned farm located in le Caggiole Valley (at the slope of Montepulciano city). Montepulciano is situated on a hill, which is in the exact centre between Val d'orcia & Val di Chiana. The owners of Tiberini call the estate a farm as they have 16.5 hectares of vines & 2 hectares of olives. They focus on natural maturing, natural soil conditions & traditional upholsteries, such as copper & sulphur. They want to reduce the usage of these products in their production in order to safe the biodiversity, soil & environment. We would love to present you this wine, as it is one of our hidden pearls.

After a soft separation and pressing process, with also a cold pre-maceration process, the grapes start their alcoholic and natural yeasts maturation on peels for a 12 days period with many different fulling cycles, within monitored temperature stainless steel tank 50hl each. The malolactic fermentation occurs immediately after the alcoholic fermentation. After the fermentation processes and a rest period, the wine is poured in small controlled-temperature stainless steel vat. After a last six months rest, in bottle, the wine is ready to serve.
