DESCRIPTION: Wine with intense fruity notes, soft, intense, and pleasant on the palate. Not a simple IGT, but a refined wine that originates from clayey terrain that is rich in limestone, which, in this part of Tuscany gives the wine their best characteristics and creates a wine with fruity aromas that leave the palate with a pleasant sensation of softness.
GASTRONOMIC ACCOMPANIMENTS: Many of our customers are especially fond of this wine and love pairing it with meat, fish, cold cuts and cheese.
The 2015 Poderuccio is a blend of 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Sangiovese. This is a fresh and lively entry-level wine that offers a lot of cherry brightness that evidently comes directly from the Merlot. The finish is compact and fresh.
