| Poggio Antico’s Rosso di Montalcino is a broad and yet vibrant wine with great character and length of flavor for its category. The rules for the appellation of wines from Montalcino include a requirement that vineyards be registered and certified for the category of wine to be produced there. Poggio Antico has no Sangiovese vineyards registered and certified to produce “Rosso di Montalcino”, but has many certified for the higher category of “Brunello di Montalcino”. For this reason Rosso di Montalcino can be produced only by choosing to sacrifice the right to make some Brunello, making Poggio Antico Rosso in effect a younger Brunello.To earn the appellation of “Rosso di Montalcino” the rules require neither aging in wood nor refinement in the bottle before release. Nonetheless the vintners at Poggio Antico prefer to take these additional steps to help the wine to better express its complexity and depth. Our Rosso di Montalcino is aged sixteen months in total, ten of which in 500-liter tonneaux of French oak. |
