Production and refinement

The production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG – Il Conventino originates from vineyards situated at around 400 meters above sea level, on clayey and tuffaceous soils typical of the Montepulciano area, which provide the wine with structure and complexity. The grapes, mainly Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile) with small percentages of Colorino, Canaiolo, and Mammolo, grow in carefully tended vineyards with controlled yields not exceeding 60 quintals per hectare. Harvesting is strictly by hand, selecting the best clusters to ensure the highest quality.

In the winery, the grapes are gently pressed and undergo fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature for 10–15 days, with skin contact to extract color, aromas, and tannins. Aging takes place for over 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by at least 6 months of bottle aging, achieving a harmonious balance between structure, aromatic complexity, and softness.

Il Conventino

Azienda Agricola Il Conventino is located in Montepulciano, in the heart of Tuscany, among the gentle hills connecting the Val di Chiana and the Val d’Orcia. The area has a long-standing viticultural tradition dating back to the Etruscan period, consolidated in the Middle Ages, and already regulated in the 14th century with precise rules on wine production and trade.

Il Conventino spans approximately 10 hectares, with vineyards situated between 250 and 580 meters above sea level. The winery was founded with the aim of preserving the local winemaking tradition, combining respect for the environment with careful attention to grape quality. The company philosophy focuses on organic production, avoiding industrial standardization and favoring artisanal and sustainable methods.

Tuscany

Tuscany is one of the most important Italian regions for wine, famous worldwide for its renowned labels. Here, wine truly has been part of history and culture for centuries, as far back as the 14th century with the establishment of the "Lega dei Vinattieri" (Wine Merchants Guild).
The Tuscan landscape also tells the story of the territory's strong winemaking vocation: from the hills of Chianti and the Etruscan Coast to the panoramas of Val d’Orcia and Val di Chiana, kilometers of splendid vineyards stretch out before our eyes, producing excellent wines.

Tuscany is one of Italy's most suitable regions for the production of quality wines and has conquered world markets since the 1980s. Bathed by the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, it has predominantly hilly terrain with a temperate climate, mild winters, and cool summers.
The various types of grapevines cultivated in Tuscany are greatly influenced by the soil on which they grow, ranging from sandy soils in the west to tuffaceous soils, and even clayey and calcareous soils.
A special mention goes to "galestro," a type of local soil that also gives its name to a wine from the Chianti area.

Montepulciano

The landscape of this beautiful part of Tuscany is a continuous alternation of woods, evergreen oaks, and chestnuts, with fir trees in the higher areas, vineyards and olive groves on the gentler slopes. There are also parish churches, abbeys, castles, and small villages with distant Etruscan ancestry.

Here, wine still preserves its ancient peasant culture. In the vineyards around Siena, between San Gimignano, Montalcino, and Montepulciano, one finds the purest essence of Tuscany: that of great values, old houses marked by time and people who have lived there forever, wines with great personality and ancient flavor.

Montepulciano is a medieval town of rare beauty, an ancient village with Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, squares, and hidden corners. Walking through the streets of Montepulciano, one discovers not only the city but also the incredible view of the surrounding countryside, all covered with those fabulous vineyards that produce the famous Nobile wine. Amidst beautiful landscapes and perfect terrain for the production of excellent wines like Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, this area combines the traditional Tuscan charm with a more local character. The base of Montepulciano wine is the same as that of Chianti Classico, Orcia DOC, and Brunello di Montalcino: Sangiovese, also known as "Prugnolo Gentile." Why this name? Because it is the perfect wine, the wine of nobles and of all wines, the king.
Among the green hills and majestic forests of Tuscany, the winemaking tradition blends with ancient parish churches and Etruscan castles, keeping alive the ancient peasant culture.
