About Poggerino
There are today approximately 11 hectares of vines in production, planted mostly with Sangiovese. This varietal was also planted in most of Poggerino's new vineyards, where it is showing its great potential. Poggerino's wines are produced exclusively from its own grapes, and every step of wine production and marketing is carried out by the owners themselves. We believe in almost fanatical attention to vineyard work. It is in the vineyard that we must strive to produce healthy grapes that have attained the highest degree of concentration and ripeness possible, for this is essential to the production of wines of style and character that can fully reflect the individuality of Poggerino s terroir. The wines produced from these grapes combine a richness and concentration of fruit, acidity, and tannin, indispensable to the wine s longevity, while the soft, ripe nature of the tannins allows the wine to be enjoyed early in its life. Poggerino's vineyards are located 400 to 500 meters above sea level, and face south-southwest. The soil is very rocky, due to the breakup of local 'Galestro' rock, which provides optimal drainage. These factors are all essential in the quest to produce great Sangiovese. Clonal selection in the newer plantings has resulted in Sangiovese vines that produce small grapes and bunches, thus maximizing concentration and sweetness of fruit and skin to juice ratios. This provides deeper colour and more intense, ripe tannins, essential in the structure of the wines. In addition, about 1 hectare is planted with Merlot.
