Montesecondo
‘Working for the land and not the land, thinking of the winery as a living organism containing vital forces and not just as a production system. This is a vision that changes people and changes wines’: this is, in his own words, Silvio Messana’s philosophy. In a region where technicisms, manipulations and overuse of oak and concentration in a 1990’s style are still way too common, he produces wines that express the terroir in the most intrinsic way, full of energy and with a deep, elegant feel.
Rosso
This Rosso represents the purest expression of Sangiovese from this area.
Aged in concrete tanks, the grapes' tannins soften, allowing the fruit to express itself and bringing light to the wine.
The grapes, 100% Sangiovese, come from our youngest vineyards, with a planting density of 6,250 vines per hectare.
