Italy / Tuscany
Brunello Poggio Doria is the wine of sunset, the wine from the West. Poggio Doria's vineyard is located in the North-West side of Montalcino with South/West/North-West exposure. The vineyard is approximately 853 feet above seal level and composed of jasper, sand and clay. Vines are planted using training system of spurred cordon with 2166 plants per acre. Harvest is conducted manually into cases in the first week of October.
Harvest Note
January and February lacked in precipitation as compared to the average. March brought snow without any serious damage to the buds ready to open. Rainfall in June was above average for this time of year. Maximum temperatures reached 31 °C while minimum values did not drop below 12 °C. These weather conditions allowed regular development of the canopy and harmonious berry growth. July was mostly dry with only 5 mm of rain and reached high average temperatures. The attention and competence in the management of the canopy allowed to adequately protect the grape bunches and prevent potential damage. August experienced a decent amount of rainfall. The day-night temperature difference in September favored the synthesis of the noble substances inside and outside the berries.
Tasting Note
Intense ruby red color. Ample and complex notes at the nose: little red fruits and spices melt with mineral and balsamic hints. Elegant and balanced at the palate, full-bodied and persistent, it is characterized by a great
texture and concentration, with present and velvety tannins.
