(Italiano) Poggio Lombrone

Vintage 2018 - The climate

A highly unusual rainy year gifted us a Sangiovese Riserva of seductive elegance. September’s sun-filled days and significant day-night temperature differentials certainly had positive impact on the healthy condition and full ripeness of the fruit. Poggio Lombrone 2018 exhibits complexity and depth, offering notes of moist soil and earthly mineral, ripe red berryfruit and orange zest.

It goes well with game, roast, braised and stewed red meats, and medium-aged cheese.

Tasting

Rich and finely-balanced, it has preserved intact its crisp acidity and well-rounded mouthfeel, while the supple tannins encountered on entry are nicely enfolded into a markedly savoury finish.

Vinification

Poggio Lombrone is made from a quality selection of Sangiovese grapes grown in the venerable Poggio Lombrone vineyard lying at an elevation of 30 metres, planted in calcareous sandstone. The vineyard, over 50 years old, is cultivated organically and has very low yields per hectare. The grapes are picked strictly by hand, and fermentations are in small, 10hl tapered wooden vats, with manual punch-downs and lengthy macerations. Malolactic occurs in 40hl Slavonian oak ovals, followed by 30 months of maturation.
