ColleMassari Poggio Lombrone Montecucco Sangiovese Riserva 2013

100% Sangiovese

Poggio Lombrone is the name of the estate's oldest Sangiovese vineyard.  Vineyard was planted in 1952 .  Average vine age of 65 years.  Harvesting is done manually and the spontaneous fermentation takes place in open truncated cone-shaped oak vats with frequent and gentle manual punching, allowing long macerations and only fully ripe tannins extraction. Malolactic fermentation in 40 hl. oak casks, where the aging continues for 30 months.  15% ABV

Hints of sour cherry and forest fruits with elegant progression where sweet and saline tertiary notes alternate. Tasty and enveloping, full of vigor and tension, with a well pronounced tannin in harmony with the typical freshness and mineral character.
