Poggiotondo Vermentino 2022 (Italy)

Poggiotondo is certified organic and all their wines are produced from the grapes they grow in their Tuscan vineyards. A few years ago, they 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 healthier vines, better fruit quality, more character and longevity of the vineyards. The vinification is consistent with the principles they apply in the vineyards; therefore developing non-invasive winemaking techniques.

The grapes for the Poggiotondo Vermentino are delicately pressed with a pneumatic press. The must is kept in contact with the lees for a few days at a low temperature. Once naturally decanted, it is then separated from the coarse lees and fermented with 20% of the whole bunch in cement tanks at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. The wine rests on the fine lees for a few months in temperature-controlled cement tanks until bottling.
