Method
This is IGT Toscana is a blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Alicante. The vineyards are located in Bacinello, the hilly part, of the province of Grossetto within the Maremma. In fact, the grapes for this wine are just 30km from the sea! The grapes for Poggio Argentiera Capatosta grow on stone and clay alluvial soil. The grapes are manually harvested and refrigerated for a short period. The must goes through a quick maceration before gradual fermentation at 18-28 °C for about 15 days in stainless steel and truncated cone-shaped oak tanks (50 hl). After, the wine macerates for 12-15 days. The wine rests for 15 months in used French oak tonneaux.
