Tenuta Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Younger, more accessible version of the Brunello, but already with an excellent structure and a great personality, Rosso di Montalcino is a very important wine for Tenuta Il Poggione.

Grape Varietals & Region:Produced entirely from Sangiovese grapes, sourced in the estate’s younger vineyards

Taste Profile:The wood aging, although not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino, tones down the tannins typical of a young Sangiovese and gives this red wine a complexity of aroma and structure that make it a great “Young Brunello”.

Intense ruby red colour. Fruity bouquet with red berry notes. Very well structured, yet soft, long-lasting flavour with smooth, velvety tannins.

Winemaking Process: 15 days “submerged cap” fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature 25/28 C (77/82 F). Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.12 months in large French oak barrels (30 – 50 hl or 872 -1373 Gallon) and barriques (350 litres – 92 Gallon) followed by bottle aging.
