The Rosso di Montalcino Poggio Salvi comes from the younger Sangiovese Grosso vineyards of Sesta .

Fermentation: about 10-12 days on the skin at controlled temperature below 28° C in 150 hl wide and short stainless steel tanks, designed and built for the purpose of obtaining a delicate tannin and colour extraction. The wine matures in Slovenian oak casks for 12 months and then is ready to be drunk, young and fruity.

Tasting notes: A wine of great finesse and structure with an intense, mature bouquet of a variety of fruits, pleasant vinous freshness woven with the scents of the oak. Flavourful and complex, it has a very fruity body enriched by spicy oak nuances emerging from a background of noble tannins. The colour is deep ruby red, with youthful violet hues.

Recommended food combination: The perfect accompaniment for traditional Tuscan cuisine, but excellent also with international cuisine. It is superb with pasta, poultry, risotto, dishes with pork and veal.

Drinking temperature: 16°-17° C.
