Aires Montepulciano 2013

Produced from estate fruit, 100% Montepulciano. Vineyards are on steep hillsides, soils are a mix of clay, granite, and sandstone. Fermented in stainless steel; aged in stainless steel for six months prior to bottling. 2013 is a fantastic vintage, warm but with very cool nights, harvest dates were later and the phenolic ripeness was ideal. Production: 13,000 cases.
