Sangiovese Poggio Ai Chiari 2013

Description

Sangiovese Poggio Ai Chiari, a still red from Tuscany, 2013 vintage, produced by Colle Santa Mustiola. A wine that tells the story of Chiusi, an Etruscan land par excellence, just meters from the Catacomb of Santa Mustiola. Spontaneous fermentation with naturally occurring yeasts. Maceration for at least 40 days, 25 of which with submerged cap. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Aged for 66 months in French oak barriques and partly in 20-30 hl Slovenian oak barrels. Subsequently, it ages in bottle for a minimum of 24 months before being released. The typical red fruit notes are further complexified over time by a series of tertiary aromas such as spice, leather, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A palate of rare elegance, the tannic texture expresses a silkiness typical only of great red wines from highly suited viticultural areas such as the Santa Mustiola area in Chiusi.

From this winery

The winery offers emotions that are difficult to replicate. We are in Chiusi, Etruscan land par excellence, a few dozen metres from the Catacomb of Santa Mustiola and the most famous Etruscan tombs. The entrance to the winery is through an Etruscan tomb. The entrance makes us forget (but only for a moment) the real reason for our presence, but it is the wine that calls us back and accompanies us to discover a magical place.

The wine cellar develops along natural tunnels in a tufa cave. A scenario that is fascinating to the eyes and essential to the refinement of the wine. (Fabio Cenni) Read more
