igt toscana rosso passito
terre murate
Terre Murate represents the slowest and most contemplative expression of the Pian del Pino project. Made from Merlot grapes naturally dried on the vine, it shows how time, concentration and patience can be transformed into elegance and balance.
GRAPE VARIETY
100% Merlot
ORGANIC WINE
EU Certified Organic Wine
VINEYARD
Vigna delle Farfalle, northern section.
Spur cordon/Guyot-trained vines with a planting density of 2.20 × 0.80 m and north–south row orientation. Medium-textured, silica-rich soils with excellent drainage.
HARVEST
Hand-harvested in small perforated crates during the first ten days of October.
WINEMAKING
Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they are destemmed and gently crushed without breaking the berries. Fermentation takes place exclusively with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks.
After approximately 40 days of maceration, the wine continues its ageing for more than five years in barriques, where it slowly develops complexity, depth and balance.
TASTING NOTES
Terre Murate is an extra-dry Passito of remarkable personality. The nose reveals a deep and complex bouquet with notes of spirit-soaked fruit, cocoa, tobacco, sweet spices and delicate balsamic nuances.
On the palate it is full, harmonious and surprisingly fresh, with perfectly integrated tannins supporting a long, elegant and never heavy finish. Its remarkable persistence reveals the full depth of the natural grape drying process and extended ageing.
FOOD PAIRING
An ideal meditation wine, best enjoyed on its own without the need for food pairing. It also pairs beautifully with blue cheeses, 90% dark chocolate, desserts and dried fruit.
AGEING POTENTIAL
Ready to enjoy upon release, with the potential to age for a further 10 years or more, during which it will continue to gain complexity and structure.
