Analytical Data
Wine Production
Poggio di Sotto's unique style derives in part from the winery's use of long fermentations and indigenous yeasts. The fermentation initiates spontaneously in truncated oak vats where it continues unabated for at least thirty days, on average. Following fermentation, Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino Riserva rests in 30hl Slavonian oak casks for 24 months. The finished wine is bottled unfiltered
About the Vineyard
The Rosso di Montalcino is produced from the same selection as the estate's Brunello with total aging prior to commercial release the only difference between the two wines.
