Tenuta Trerose

Tenuta Trerose's heart is the 16th-century Villa Romizi, a Renaissance-era residence on the slopes of Valiano di Montepulciano in the southeastern sector of the Vino Nobile DOCG zone. The estate's vineyards have been planted progressively over the centuries, with modern viticulture and dedicated Vino Nobile production developing through the 20th century. Tenuta Trerose passed through various hands before becoming part of the Tenimenti Angelini portfolio under the Italian Angelini Group, the industrial conglomerate whose interests span pharmaceutical, consumer goods, and wine sectors. In 2012, Angelini Group acquired the historic Veneto producer Bertani, making it the flagship of its wine division. On January 1, 2014, Bertani Domains was formally founded, uniting all Tenimenti Angelini wineries (Val di Suga in Montalcino, Trerose in Montepulciano, San Leonino in Chianti Classico, and Puiatti in Friuli) under shared corporate structure while each retains its own enological team and terroir focus.

• Centred on 16th-century Villa Romizi, a Renaissance-era residence on Valiano di Montepulciano slopes
• Part of Tenimenti Angelini portfolio under Italian Angelini Group; Bertani acquired by Angelini in 2012
• Bertani Domains formed January 1, 2014, uniting Bertani (Veneto) with Tuscan estates Val di Suga, Trerose, San Leonino, plus Puiatti (Friuli)
• Each Bertani Domains estate maintains independent enological team and distinct terroir focus despite shared ownership

Tenuta Trerose's 103 hectares of vineyards are concentrated on the slopes around Valiano di Montepulciano, in the southeastern Vino Nobile zone, with elevations typical of the appellation (approximately 300 to 500 metres). The continental climate combines warm growing-season days with cool nights, preserving acidity and aromatic freshness in Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese). Soils reflect the broader Vino Nobile profile of Pliocene marine sediments, with clay-limestone, sandy limestone, and mixed clay-sand profiles across the estate's parcels. The estate's scale provides Trerose with a wide palette of vineyard expressions for selection, allowing the enological team to identify the best lots for the prestige Riserva (Simposio) and Vino Nobile (Santa Caterina) bottlings while younger or simpler lots can be directed to Rosso di Montepulciano or earlier-drinking cuvees.

Tenuta Trerose follows a measured traditional-modern approach to Vino Nobile production. The blend favours Prugnolo Gentile (the local Sangiovese clone) at 90 percent of the composition, with small contributions of Merlot (5%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) adding structural complement to the Sangiovese-driven profile. Fermentations are conducted with temperature control to preserve aromatic precision, and aging combines large Slavonian oak casks with smaller French oak barrels. The Santa Caterina Vino Nobile DOCG is the flagship volume bottling, presenting the estate's house style with balanced cherry fruit, structured tannin, and clean integration of the Merlot and Cabernet components. The Simposio Vino Nobile Riserva DOCG represents the prestige tier with extended aging and selection from the best parcels.

• Vino Nobile blend: 90% Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile), 5% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
• Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves aromatic precision and varietal integrity
• Aging combines large Slavonian oak casks and smaller French oak barrels
• Tier differentiation: Santa Caterina (Vino Nobile DOCG flagship), Simposio (Vino Nobile Riserva DOCG prestige)

Tenuta Trerose's range centres on Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG with multiple tier bottlings. Santa Caterina is the volume flagship Vino Nobile, presenting the estate's classical Prugnolo Gentile-driven style with balanced complementary varieties. Simposio is the prestige Vino Nobile Riserva DOCG, produced from selected lots and extended aging. The estate also produces Rosso di Montepulciano DOC as the lighter, earlier-drinking expression of the same terroir, as well as Toscana IGT wines that allow the team to express the Merlot, Cabernet, and other varieties grown on the property. Distribution is global, with the Bertani Domains corporate structure providing logistical reach into international markets through the group's established sales channels.
