"Lemartine" is the newest born of our wines, released for the first time in January 2012 with the 2010 vintage, which is certainly one of the most exciting crops of the last 25 years.
Lemartine, like our first IGT wine "Madre", takes its name from one of three old family homesteads built over a century ago on the estate. This beautiful stone has, with breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside, is embraced by graceful vineyards, olive groves and verdant woodland.Lemartine has a dinstinctive richnes combined with a a classic elegance. It is a hearty, rich and elegant wine.
The black and red berry fruits integrate to enhance a beautiful structure and firm, yet never aggresive tannins. Its generosity delivers minerality, intense fruit flavors and hints of leather, spices and black licorice.In Lemartine, the Brunello grape still plays the lead role, as it does in all Poggio Antico wines, but here it is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot (planted in 1997- and 2003 respectively). These three varietals, rigorously and exclusively estate grown at 420 meters altitude, refine separately in small French oak barrels of varied toasts. On the day they are blended together, they become Lemartine. Prior to release, the wine enjoys a further refinement in the bottle for at least four months. |
