TASTE NOTE
Tasting Notes

This wine was created in honor of Marchesa Clementina, grandmother of Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi, current owners of Tenuta Il Poggione. Always a lover of great Champagne, her taste has inspired this Metodo Classico produced in Montalcino.

Elegant and fresh nose, played on small red berries in a dense whole, but also enriched by a citrus hint and a certain greasy base. The mouth enhances this sensation of freshness in bringing back the olfactory fruity set with consistency and juiciness. Above all, the wine is very clean and dry, but never such as to betray the absence of dosage. Pleasantly and delicately bitter finish on citrus notes, long persistence.

Il Poggione

Il Poggione was one of the first wineries to market the Brunello di Montalcino wine as early as the 1900's, and one of the founding members of the Brunello di Montalcino Consortium. After more than a Century, Lavinio Franceschi's work is still a fundamental point of reference for his successors, Leopoldo and Livia, who continue to develop the business with that same dedication and unrelenting passion, combining the ancient skills of winemaking crafts and tradition with the latest , most innovative techniques.

Vinification

This Spumante is made exclusively from estate - sourced Sangiovese grapes. The grape bunches are hand-picked in crates and softly pressed. This is the only moment in which the must remains in contact with the skins, and this is why the wine has an elegant pale pink color.

After fermentation in temperature - controlled steel tanks, the bases are selected and the tirage takes place. Since then, the wine spends at least 24 months in contact with yeasts, at constant temperature and humidity, in our ancient cellar in Sant'Angelo in Colle. At the end, after the disgorging, the bottles rest for another two months.
