Winery & Vintage Info
Poggiotondo is certified organic and all our wines are produced from the grapes we grow in our own vineyards. A few years ago, we decided to go back to traditional vineyard management, abolishing all use of synthetic chemicals to allow the soil to regenerate and always stay alive. This farming method encourages the vines to develop their own antibodies, giving us healthier vines, better fruit quality, more character and longevity of the vineyards. The vinification is consistent with the principles we apply in the vineyards; therefore, we have developed non-invasive winemaking techniques.
Soil of marine origin, calcareous with a high presence of Fossils and white shells which gives elegance and complexity to the wines. The western part of Chianti has a mild and dry climate thanks to the greater influence of the Mediterranean Sea.
A few days of cold maceration allowed a delicate pre-fermentative extraction from the skins. The grapes are fermented in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine remains in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature until bottling.
