It is produced by Cupano, a winery that combines technique and artisanal sensitivity. This red wine is the result of a \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e, two Bordeaux-origin grape varieties that have found an ideal habitat in the clayey soils and mild climate of the Montalcino area. The result is a full-bodied, intense, and harmonious wine, capable of best expressing the character of the Tuscan territory with an international imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage was particularly balanced in terms of climatic conditions: the warm summer, with good temperature excursions between day and night, favored optimal grape ripening, ensuring complex aromas and ripe tannins. The harvest, carried out manually at the beginning of October, allowed only the best bunches to be selected, bringing the highest quality raw material to the cellar. This is reflected in a balanced, profound, and already very enjoyable wine, but with significant evolutionary potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place in steel vats with indigenous yeasts, at a controlled temperature. This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins – i.e., prolonged contact between the must and the skins to extract color, aromas, and tannins – for about three weeks. \u003cstrong\u003eAging\u003c\/strong\u003e continues for 24 months in French barriques, which give the wine structure and complexity without overpowering its fruity character. After a further period of rest in the bottle, the \"Ombrone\" is ready, but with a balance destined to grow even further with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wine that reveals itself in three moments: color, aroma, and taste, all coherent and of great elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, it presents an intense ruby red, with garnet reflections that anticipate its structure and aging potential.

Then, slight balsamic and toasted sensations emerge, testifying to the care and refinement of the winemaking process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the \u003cstrong\u003eSant'Antimo Rosso DOC “Ombrone” 2019 - Cupano\u003c\/strong\u003e is full and velvety.
