Poggio Trevvalle – 2016

Description

A smooth, pleasingly ‘warm’ wine with persistent, fruity notes. Made from Sangiovese grapes with a small percentage of Cabernet and Grenache, co-harvested in a vineyard planted in the early seventies, together with more Sangiovese harvested from our younger vines. Medium deep ruby red colour, ripe cherry and blood orange on the nose, the palate has good grip, medium weight but integrated and refreshing tannin, red and dark cherry flavours and a medium towards long finish.
