PRODUCT INFORMATION

Poggiomandorlo is our top wine, an excellent example of how a terroir can be expressed using international varieties of grapes. The Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, strongly characterized by our terroir, create a wine particularly well suited for aging in wood over long periods of time.

Aging: 18 months in new French oak barriques

Characteristics: an intense vermilion red wine with shades of violet. The aroma has fruity notes of blueberries, blackberries and black currant enriched by hints of vanilla and chocolate coming from the wood. The mouth-feel is of a well structured, full-bodied wine with and intense tannic favour and a very long after-taste enhanced by balsamic notes. Its characteristic acidity gives Poggiomandorlo remarkable freshness and great potential for evolution over the years.
