Toscana Rosso IGT 2018 - Il Poggione
The ruby red Rosso di Toscana IGT from Tenuta il Poggione is a classic Tuscan with an intense aroma of red fruits, black cherries and sweet spices like vanilla and liquorice. Delicate hints of violet, introduced by Sangiovese, as well as some black currant and plums from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot refine the bouquet.
The strong, fruity taste of the Toscana Rosso from Il Poggione convinces with beautifully integrated and invigorating fruit acidity, light melting on the palate and fine tannins.
Vinification of the Toscana Rosso from Tenuta Il Poggione
This red wine is made from Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which grow in the vineyards of Tenuta Il Poggione between 150 and 450 metres above sea level. After manual harvesting, the grapes are ground and fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature for two weeks. During this process, the cap of the marc is repeatedly submerged, so that the grape skins are deprived of a particularly large number of aromas. The must is then matured in large 30 and 50 hl oak barrels and in 350-litre French oak barriques, and finally bottled, where the wine matures for some time. The vinification and the combination of the three grape varieties produce a soft, fragrant wine, ideal for every day.
