WINERY
Poggerino's wines are produced organically, exclusively from their own grapes, and every step of wine production and marketing is carried out by the owners themselves. The owner, Piero
Lanza, believes in an almost fanatical attention to vineyard work. His goal is to set the stage for healthy vines, and ultimately, beautiful wines, by caring for the land holistically, in rhythm with the seasons, and as custodian for its natural biodiversity and richness. The results are healthy grapes with the highest degree of concentration and ripeness, perfectly reflective of their unique Tuscan terroir.
AGING
In December the new wine is racked to casks of
20/25hl of Slavonian oak and tonneau of 4/5hl
of French oak where the malolactic fermentation
takes place. Aged for 12 months then the wine
is assembled and bottled the following spring.
The wine is aged for a minimum of 8 months
before sale.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
