Poderuccio · Toscana IGT 2022 (Bio)

  Poderuccio from Camigliano is a red wine full of character that embodies the essence of the Tuscan countryside. It is made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet, and Sangiovese grapes. The grapes come from the best vineyards on the estate, where the loamy-sandy soils rich in fossils and marl, and the altitude of around 250 meters above sea level, provide ideal conditions for these grape varieties to ripen. The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small crates to ensure they arrive at the winery undamaged. After gentle pressing, the must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with maceration lasting 20 to 25 days to extract the desired aromas and tannins. The wine is aged for about 6 months in small oak barrels, mainly French oak, to support the structure of the wine without masking the fruit aromas.

The name Poderuccio is derived from the Italian word ‘podere’, meaning ‘estate’, and refers to the historic estate where the grapes for this wine are grown. The wine is characterized by a deep red color and complex aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity structure, giving it excellent aging potential. Poderuccio is a prime example of Camigliano's high level of craftsmanship and reflects the authenticity and tradition of the Montalcino region. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
