Vintage Details

The 2020 vintage was balanced and favorable, characterized by a regular climate and healthy grapes, rich in aromas and phenolic substances. Temperature excursions between day and night contributed to developing intense aromas and ripe tannins, elements that make the Toscana Rosso IGT "Le Stanze del Poliziano" 2020 Magnum particularly harmonious and long-lived.

Winemaking and Aging

The wine's fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, to preserve the purity of the fruit and the varietal characteristics of the grapes. The subsequent maceration — the period during which the skins remain in contact with the must — allows for the extraction of color, aromas, and structure. Aging continues for approximately 16 months in French oak barriques: a process that enriches the wine with complexity, elegance, and softness, without ever overshadowing the personality of the Montepulciano territory.
