Nose
The bouquet of Poggio Croce shows notes of violet and red berried fruits such as cherry and currant; hints of black tea, vanilla and white pepper, add complexity to the wine.
Palate
S The mouth displays smooth tannins supported by a nice acidity which guarantees freshness and longevity to the wine.
Growing Conditions
The year 2019 was featured by spring rains, which allowed vital water reserves, suitable for a hot summer with low rainfall. The slightly harsher and wetter weather in the first half of the year slightly delayed the vine’s growth cycle compared to recent years. A hot but regular summer, with some peaks of temperature without precipitation, was followed by a September with nice weather and good temperature ranges, which accompanied gradually the phenolic ripening of the grapes.
