Poggio al Toro - Morellino di Scansano DOCG - vino biologico

Area of Production

vasile is a IGT Toscana rosé wine obtained with the grapes produced in our own vineyards, following organic farming techniques. The vineyards are in the northern part of the Scansano Township, in the direction of Monte Labbro.

Terroir

The vineyards, planted in 1999, are situated on land with a mixed composition, having a clay loam base which is rather chalky but rich in skeletal material. They are located at an altitude of between 350-400 meters asl with a west-southwest exposure.

Varietals

Sangiovese (at least 90%), Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (5-10%)

Plant training system

Spurred cordon

Planting density

5,400 vines per hectare

Production Method

After harvesting and an extremely short contact with the skins, this wine is separated from the must obtained with the same grapes as Morellino and vinified in white.

Once the alcoholic fermentation has accomplished, follow the malolactic fermentation in steel vats and a short ripening period in 5 hl French durmast tonneaux. The wine making ends with a short bottle refinement.

Production quantity

1,200-1,500 bottles per year.

Tasting notes

Intense rosy color. Floral scents with fruity notes. To the taste a marked sourness, good persistency and a light tannic note

Notes

This is our wine for the Summer, but not only... Since we do not produce white wines, we thought this rosé wine to face the hottest periods and were happy to found out that this is an excellent appetizer for every season.
