Intense ruby red. Red fruits, wood, spices. Warm, concentrated, soft, tannic.

Reserve wine produced only in particularly favorable vintages. It is a wine still in the "definition" phase, but the goal is to combine the tannic structure of teroldego with the elegance and softness of ciliegiolo.
Vineyards planted between 1998 and 2003, trained on guyot, with a planting density of about 4500 plants per hectare. Manual harvesting of grapes in boxes, each grape is processed separately.
The result is a ruby-colored, very consistent wine with soft but firm flavors.

Poggio Pinzo is the result of cultivation of the ciliegiolo vine on volcanic soils.Its name derives from the presence of slag from the eruption of the Poggio Pinzo volcano, near Lake Bolsena, in the soil on which it is grown. Vinification takes place in terracotta jars with a capacity of about 7 to 8 hl,where the destemmed grapes ferment. When fermentation is complete, the jars are filled and closed and the wine is left to macerate with the skins until the next harvest, that is, for about 12 months. The result is a wine with a vibrant ruby red color, unique in flavor and sensation on the palate.

Ciliegiolo Maremma Toscana Doc

Anfora di terracotta

Ruby red with purple highlights. Red fruits, berries, flowers. Fresh, savory, soft, fruity notes.

The grapes from which this Ciliegiolo is made are grown in the vineyards of Sovana and Pitigliano. They come from the mass selection of the oldest vineyards, more than 55 years old, replanted about 18 years ago.
The Ciliegiolo grape variety takes its name from the cherry scent of the grapes and the resulting wine. It was first described in the 1600s, and the description closely resembles today's Ciliegiolo. It is characterized by a wide and long pyramid-shaped cluster, the berries are compact, round and large, and it is very susceptible to mildew, high winds and spring frosts. Ciliegiolo is very vigorous and productive and is resistant to drought; it grows well on draining, hilly soils that are moderately ventilated. It is grown mainly in central Italy and mainly in Tuscany in the Maremma area. Genetic studies show that Ciliegiolo is related to Sangiovese and other very rare varieties such as Moscato Violetto, Calabrese di Montenuovo and Negrodolce.
