DESCRIPTION
From the manufacturer’s website:
“Il Poggio” stands on a hill 300 meters above sea level, at the foot of Mount Taburno, nestled in lush green countryside of southeast-facing vineyards that fade into the distance. Vineyards are espalier and ray-trained, with 3,000 vines per hectare and an average age of 15 years, planted in cretaceous and clay soils where grape production ranges from 90q/ha to 120q/ha. The grapes are harvested strictly by hand, placing them in 20-kg crates, and within two to three hours they are destemmed and crushed. Grapes are vinified with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment while passionately respecting tradition. Fermentation takes place at electronically controlled temperature. Pressing is done with a soft press at 1 atm.
Today, the company aims to achieve very specific goals, focusing on the quality of its products and enhancing the entire supply chain to the best of its ability, revolutionizing the production system with marketing strategies aimed at egregiously and admirably obtaining excellent results, the result of many years of work, receiving as merit several awards from the most important National and International wine competitions. Our wines are the result of valuable and constant work in the vineyard, careful selection of grapes that combined with rigorous controls and refined and innovative processing techniques ensure products of high quality and absolute authenticity.
