Poggio Antico, Rosso Di Montalcino - Rosso di Montalcino D.0 2021

Poggio Antico, high up in the hills of Montalcino

Poggio Antico is one of Montalcino's most elevated estates, situated southwest of the fame medieval citadel. Its 35-hectare (86 acres) vineyard area is cultivated at an altitude of almost 500 meters (1 640 ft). The estate's unique location, high altitude, and perfect exposure all contribute to the ideal conditions which give the wines of Poggio Antico intense bouquets and incredible finesse. Founded in 1976, a new team arrived at the head of the estate in 2017. As soon as they arrived, they led a soil survey to identify the micro terroirs within the vineyard in order to implement a polt-by-plot approach. They have launched many new and exciting projects, including the organic conversion of the vineyards, cellar renovations and plans for a new hospitality center. 

Poggio Antico, Rosso di Montalcino D.O.C, is the younger expression of estate grown Sangiovese fruit. Aged in oak for a minimum of 8 months, this juicy wine fills your glass with succulent fruity notes. Fresh and delicious. 

The 2021 vintage

The cold winter and spring (with temperatures below average) led to a slow sprouting. Abundant rains during the growing season allowed the plant to reach the right balance, an indispensable condition to accumulate a large amount of polyphenols and to get a perfect ripeness. Lastly, the strong temperature shifts during September and October, enhanced the phenolic component of each single vineyard.
