Metinella, a Montepulciano-based estate in the heart of the famous wine-growing area of Nobile, was established at the end of 2015 after incorporating in one two of the existing local wine estates, aimed at joining together the best qualities and ingredients of the vines and its grapes spread by the soil.
Inspired by the generosity of nature and the excellence of its fruits, its primary goal is to work respectfully for these places and traditions. To do that is to work in harmony with the environment meaning they avoid any use of chemicals.
One of their methods was requalification of vine plantings which require a lot of hard work. All vineyards have been fixed and brought into alignment, their support stakes adequately replaced, soil and drainage ditches appropriately improved. They have also implemented and changed a lot to comply with the vine varietals requirements to follow the Nobile tradition.
At the core of Metinella philosophy is, indeed, not only firm belief in tradition but also in modernity and future, focusing primarily on constant quality rather than on quantity.
Accordingly, their vineyards and olive oil grove are grown on a day-to-day basis and each stage occurs just at the optimum time following the natural cycle of the seasons. The amount of buds is also duly set through pruning; in fact, its selection starts from the inflorescence, harvesting of grapes occurs by hand and at different intervals of time after examining carefully the stages of the grape berry maturation, allowing the grapes to be picked at the prime of their maturation period.
Metinella estate extends over an area of 22 hectares, 18 of which are under vine cultivation starting from a height of 350 to 550 meters above sea level with its sandy soil that owes its origin to the Pliocene epoch and enjoys a favourable sunlight exposure from the east to the south.
Their utmost vision is to focus their attention to wine lovers and tasters: first, by selecting the image of their brand with the utmost care and, second, a customized packaging in conical trunk shaped bottles with a white and simple label design along with a packing in casket-shaped boxes to highlight the very character of Metinella between tradition and modernity.
