Rosso Poggio Mandorlo 2018
Poggio Mandorlo on täyteläinen punaviini, jolla on suuri luonne, valmistettu Merlot- ja Cabernet Franc -rypäleistä, kypsytetty 30 kuukautta tynnyrissä. Maistaminen paljastaa toscanalaisten suurten punaviinien eleganssin ja monimutkaisuuden: pyöreitä hedelmäisiä, nahkaisia ja tupakkamaisia aromeja sekä täyteläisen, harmonisen ja tyydyttävän maun.
The Poggio Mandorlo is a full-bodied and structured red wine made by the eponymous Tuscan winery, which is positioned as its flagship label. Born in 2001 from the passion of four friends, who initially relied on the expert and renowned oenologist Roberto Cipressi, this winery is now technically and oenologically guided by Filippo Paoletti, consultant for important production realities in Montalcino. Since its foundation, Poggio Mandorlo has strongly focused on the Bordeaux grape varieties Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which make up the blend of this prestigious label with an international appeal.
The Tuscan Supertuscan Poggio Mandorlo consists of a blend of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Franc (30%), varieties planted between 2001 and 2002 on soils formed by marl, sandstone, and limestone, at about 400 meters above sea level. When the grapes have reached perfect ripeness, manual harvesting and careful selection of the bunches take place, which are then fermented in steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation occurs at controlled temperature.controlled, with 18-21 days of maceration on the skins. Subsequently, the mass is transferred to French oak barriques, where it rests for 30 months before being bottled. After at least a year of further aging in glass, the wine is finally ready to be marketed.
The Poggio Mandorlo has a beautiful intense ruby red color. The aromatic range, rich and complex, unfolds with fruity aromas of blackberries and blueberries and pleasant notes of tobacco, leather, and chocolate. Delicate mineral and herbal perceptions complete the olfactory context. Full and satisfying on the palate, with an enveloping and sweet tannic structure that leads to a persistent and harmonious finish, rich in returns consistent with the nose.
