Description
What type of wine it is
Poggetto di Sopra by Avignonesi is a red wine that expresses the essence of Sangiovese in Tuscany, in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano area. Produced via spontaneous fermentation and aged in wooden barrels, it presents a bright scarlet colour and a bouquet characterised by red fruits, wild strawberries and raspberries, enriched by nuances of candied orange, incense and Indian spices. On the palate, it is vibrant and medium-bodied, supported by pulpy and crisp fruit. The structure rests on precise and silky tannins, which accompany the palate towards a persistent and elegant finish.
Where it comes from
This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano originates in Valiano di Montepulciano, from vineyards located at three hundred metres above sea level. The Guyot-trained vines root into sedimentary soils of marine origin dating back to the Pliocene, characterised by sodium blue clays, silty and calcareous components. This alkaline-pH environment fosters a deep aromatic expression and shapes the Sangiovese, giving it its typical mature tannic texture and a distinct gustatory linearity.
How it is produced
Production, faithful to biodynamic principles, begins with the harvest at the end of September. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentation is triggered by indigenous yeasts on whole berries, followed by maceration on the skins for twenty-five days to extract colour and substance. Ageing continues for twenty-four months in wooden barrels, with careful management aimed at perfectly integrating the oak's contribution into the Sangiovese profile, while preserving its natural freshness.
History and curiosities
The result of the exclusive L'Alleanza project, Avignonesi’s Poggetto di Sopra represents a vibrant and authentic tribute to its territory. This exceptional 100% Sangiovese cru comes from 37-year-old vines rooted in ancient marine soils enriched with rare blue clays. Spontaneous fermentation and expert ageing for 24 months in wood enhance its character, offering a fascinating sip free from stylistic constraints. Ideal for true connoisseurs, this vegan and biodynamic masterpiece embodies the pure essence of Montepulciano.
