Le Calle di Catoccci 'Poggio d'Oro' Monteccucco - Sangiovese

2018

Sangiovese

Montecucco, Tuscany, Italy 

The philosophy of the family farm of Le Calle is one of respect for tradition and passion for the land, and commitment to quality A philosophy which has been handed down from generation to generation. Poggio d'Oro is made from 100% Sangiovese organically farmed from a single vineyard situated at an elevation of 1,082 feet in the Montecucco region in the south of the Chianti zone. After fermentationn in concrete tanks, the wine is aged for 18 months in a combination of French & Slavonian oak botti, and rests for an additional 6 months in the bottle prior to release. Expect an intense fruity nose of plum & red berries with a slight vanilla whisp at the end. On the palate it's a structured & balanced wine with light body, rustic earthiness and flavors of juicy cherries, sweet tobacco, dried thyme & a bit of allspice. A wine which desires to be matched up with roasted game and aged cheeses.
