Le Bèrne Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Podere Le Bèrne is a family-run estate located near Montepulciano in Tuscany, focused on organic farming and traditional winemaking practices. The estate emphasizes expressing the terroir of the region through careful vineyard management and restrained cellar techniques.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is made primarily from Prugnolo Gentile, the local clone of Sangiovese, often blended with small amounts of other permitted native varieties. The region’s rolling hills, clay-limestone soils, and moderate climate contribute to wines with both richness and freshness.

Fermentation is typically carried out in stainless steel or concrete, followed by ageing in large Slavonian oak casks and/or French oak barrels, depending on the vintage and style. The ageing process softens tannins and develops complexity while preserving the wine’s Tuscan character.
