Poggiosecco Sangiovese, 2024, 750ml

Description

Poggiosecco Rosso IGT Sangiovese 2024 is a biodynamic Tuscan red crafted by Azienda Agricola Poggiosecco in the Montalbano Hills between Florence and Siena. This blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Merlot comes from 40-year-old vines planted on chalk and sandstone soils. The grapes are hand-harvested, gently destemmed, and co-fermented with indigenous yeasts. Poggiosecco Rosso IGT 2024 ages for 3 months in cement tanks followed by 3 months in bottle before release. Clarification occurs by decantation only—no fining products are used—reflecting the estate's minimal intervention philosophy.

Intense ruby red with purple reflections. The nose reveals dried plums, prune, and a delicate licorice note alongside dark fruit and subtle spice. On the palate, Sangiovese's structure meets Merlot's softness and freshness, delivering ripe fruit, smooth tannins, and persistent length.
