Brunello di Montalcino 2019 Il Poggione 75 cl

Description

History

Located in the south-west area of the renowned Montalcino hill, in the town of Sant’Angelo in Colle, Il Poggione is located in an environment rich in woods and biodiversity. The vineyards benefit from sunny exposures and a gentle climate, influenced by the breezes of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which allow the Sangiovese grapes to reach a very intense and aromatic maturation.

Production method

Obtained from the best grapes of the estate, coming from vineyards over 20 years of age. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks with maceration on the skins for a couple of weeks. Subsequently, the wine matures for 36 months in 30 and 50 hectoliter French oak barrels, before completing the refinement in the bottle.
