Wine Description
The winery’s historic wine, Poggio is a still red wine, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Barbera, and a distinctive touch of 1% dried Bonarda.
The Cabernet provides body, structure, and longevity, while the Merlot adds finesse and elegance. The Barbera, present in small quantities, imparts a pleasant freshness. Finally, the dried Bonarda makes this wine truly unique, representing the signature of its producer.
The journey of Il Poggio is a long one, but well worth the wait.
After an initial rest of 9 months in steel, the wine matures for 12-14 months in barriques and tonneaux made of French oak, of various toasts and ages.
With the arrival of summer, it is bottled and left to refine further for 18-24 months in a horizontal position, a process that softens the tannins and enhances the development of captivating tertiary aromas.
Winemaker’s note
The percentages of grapes may vary from vintage to vintage, depending on the climatic conditions.
Food Pairings
To open an hour before serving; decanting is recommended but not necessary.
We suggest pairing with game, roasted red meats, grilled steak, and braised dishes. However, it can also be enjoyed as a meditation wine, best savored alone with a piece of extra dark chocolate in front of a roaring fireplace.
