Poliziano, 2008 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

Grapes: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo Nero and 5% Mammolo.

Vinification: The grapes are sourced from 42ha of vineyards, yielding 60-75 quintals of grapes per ha. Fermentation, in stainless steel vats, lasts from 10 to 18 days, at a max temperature of 32ºC with skin contact. Ageing is for two years in wood, two thirds in oak barrels of varying capacity and one third in barriques, followed by a period of bottled ageing for 6-8 months.

Taste: A well structured wine with an intense perfume of juicy, ripe fruit and a rich palate, with just the right amount of tannin.
