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.
