Fattoria Poggerino
Il Labirinto
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
Ruby red color with red fruits on the nose. Straight forward drinking, well made Sangiovese.
Cultivation
After a careful selection in the vineyard the grapes are destemmed and pressed. Manually harvested beginning the last week in September.
Vinification
The alcoholic fermentation begins without the addition of selected yeasts and proceeds at 28-30° C. The entire process of vinification and maceration take place in concrete tanks for approximately 25 days with pumpovers and manual punchdowns.
Aging
In December the new wine is racked to concrete tanks where the malolactic fermentation takes place. Aged for 10 months then the wine is bottled.
