Vintage Details

The 2022 vintage was characterized by a mild climate and a dry summer, with significant temperature variations between day and night that favored a balanced ripening of the grapes. The harvest, carried out by hand in the first half of September, ensured healthy fruits with intense aromas and good aromatic concentration. The result is a wine of excellent complexity, capable of combining softness and intensity without losing elegance.

Winemaking and Aging

After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and fermented separately in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The maceration — the contact of the must with the skins — lasts for about 20 days, a sufficient time to extract color and structure. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to French oak barriques where it ages for about 14 months, and then rests for a few months in the bottle. This process gives "Poggio alle Nane" a perfect balance between freshness and maturity, with velvety and well-integrated tannins.
