Poderuccio IGT Toscana Sheet vintage 2018 BIO

CLIMATE : The 2018 vintage in Camigliano was characterized by a spring with precipitations higher than normal (which helped to rebalance the water reserves of the land, after last year's drought). This condition, in consideration of the biological regime, has engaged us considerably both from mechanical operations (weed containment on the ground) and vegetation management. The phenological phases (budding, flowering and setting) had a fairly regular course, producing therefore a good production, with a much higher bunch weight than last year. During the harvest period the weather conditions were very good and the grape harvest returned to a more traditional timing. The products, as soon as the racking is completed, result in a very intense color shade, of sustained gradations, but with high acidity values.

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
