Poggio Antico Rosso di Montalcino 2022
This Rosso was aged for 8 months in 500L French oak barrels and 4 months in the bottle prior to release. Just like our Brunello, our Rosso is made with the same vinification process and incredibly low yields at harvest. Very concentrated (especially for a Rosso), this wine boasts lots of black currant & dark cherry flavors.
Poggio Antico is one of Montalcino's most elevated estates, with vineyards averaging 1476 feet above sea level, southwest of the famed medieval citadel. Both the unique location and altitude privilege the wines of Poggio Antico, which benefit from the perfect exposure and enjoy favorable overnight drops in temperature, ideal conditions that increase finesse and intense bouquet. Poggio Antico was founded in 1976 and consist of 50 clayey, calcareous acres of Brunello di Montalcino.
