Formerly, this wine was labelled as Vino da Tavola
Critic tasting note: "This wine really grows on you. It starts off with slightly acrid, coarse elements of briar patch and weeds, but it explodes on the palate, turning rich, chocolaty and refined. Deep layers of softly tannic, plum-flavored fruit caress the mouth, leaving a lasting aftertaste." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Vineyard Notes
-
The variety of soils present in Poggio Antico offers rich and complex nuances: different expressions of the same vine can be found within the same vineyard. Thus emerged the Soil Units: 15 micro terroirs and 6 Macro units that enhance the Estate’s “geological symphony”. The Soil Units go beyond the idea of «vineyard», dividing the 35-hectare property in areas with soils having the same characteristics, which can be found on different plots. Each Soil Unit is a “voice” of Poggio Antico, a unique and possible expression of its terroir.

- Winemaking
-
The Soil Units are vinified and fermented separately in designated fermentation tanks and barrels. This is our plot-by-plot approach: each hectare harvested from the Soil Units ferments and ages individually to preserve the innate characteristics that, during blending, will “compose” the harmony of the final wine.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 1998 Tuscan vintage had some hits and misses.
The summer was long, hot and dry and occasionally veered into drought conditions. The heat was most detrimental to the vineyards at lower altitudes where the airflow was slightly more stifled. These conditions meant quali...
