Potenti IGT

The grapes come from the Potenti vineyard near Riotorto, whose slightly calcareous, clay-sandy soils contain a balanced proportion of gravel and have a slope of around 10 to 15 percent. Following temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures for at least 18 months in French barriques, around 10 percent of which are new, followed by at least six months in bottle. In the glass, it shows concentrated ruby colour, aromas of blackberry, blueberry and preserved cherry, along with coffee, herbal and balsamic notes. The palate is powerful and full-bodied, with lively structure and plenty of round tannins. Source: Petra catalogue and Swiss retailer information.
