Winemaker Notes:
A Traditional Old World Style Super Tuscan
An 18th Century easy drinking favorite from the Royal vineyards of Barco Reale
From the wine region in Tuscany called Barco Reale or known as the royal vineyards of the Medici Family in Carmignano, a short distance outside the city of Florence, il Poggiale began producing this incredible Super Tuscan in the 18th Century.
Barco Reale is the location that the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1776, denoted as DOC vineyards.
From estate grown and hand selected grapes, the wine is made of
75% Sangiovese and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is aged for 12 months; 9 months in French Oak Barrels and 3 months in Bottle.
This traditional and classic style Super Tuscan is an easy drinking favorite in Tuscany and the surrounding regions. At sight the wine is a brilliant and vivacious ruby red color. The nose is subtle, yet wide and persistent with hints of currants, summer flowers, and essence of oak from the barrels. The wine is medium bodied with full flavors of spicy dried fruits and a firm-touch of tannins that are in perfect balance with the acidity of the wine. The finish is smooth, pleasant and long.
This wine pairs exceptionally well with any grilled or roasted meats, great with pasta and pizza, and solo by the glass.
