Fattoria Poggerino
Brut Rosato Frizzante
Poggerino's wines are produced organically, exclusively from their own grapes, and every step of wine production and marketing is carried out by the owners themselves. The owner, Piero Lanza, believes in an almost fanatical attention to vineyard work. His goal is to set the stage for healthy vines, and ultimately, beautiful wines, by caring for the land holistically, in rhythm with the seasons, and as custodian for its natural biodiversity and richness. The results are healthy grapes with the highest degree of concentration and ripeness, perfectly reflective of their unique Tuscan terroir.
Tasting Notes
Rosé color. On the nose extremely complex with notes of peach, cherries and pastries. On the palate a pronounced acidity which highlights the taste and personality of this wine unique in its category.
Cultivation
Guyot training. 5000 vines/ha density. Manual harvest the last week of August/first week of September.
Vinification
The grapes are immediately pressed and the alcoholic fermentation begins without the addition of yeasts, at 13°/15°C, with frequent battonage. Malolactic fermentation is blocked. The following spring, the wine is clarified, filtered, and followed by the second fermentation.
Aging
After approximately 44 months the disgorgement takes place using the same wine for the dosage. The wine is aged for a minimum of 3 months before sale.
