Poggio Brandi

The vines grow on Torbiditi soils dating from the Oligocene: medium- to fine-grained sandstones alternate with clay-rich zones. The vines are trained using the Guyot and cordon systems; planting density is around 5,000 vines per hectare, and the grapes are harvested by hand in October. Fermentation takes place for around 20 days in steel tanks, after which the wine matures for at least 20 months in oak casks and tonneaux. It shows red fruit, blackberry and sour cherry, along with tobacco and toffee; on the palate it is full, soft, fresh and balanced.
