Details and technical informations about Winery Poggio di Sotto's Il Decennale.
Discover the grape variety: Mourvaison
Simple, light and fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby hue, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic Provençal profile. Almost disappeared, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Provençal vineyard. Native French black variety from Provence, formerly grown in the south-east.

The wine region of Tuscany
Kingdom of Sangiovese: upright reds with cherry, plum, dried herbs and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins. Fleshy, food-friendly Chianti Classico DOCG, deep long-ageing Brunello di Montalcino (spice, tobacco, ripe black fruit), elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. On the coast, Bolgheri crafts the opulent Cabernet- and Merlot-based 'Super Tuscans'. Some fresh white Vernaccia.
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
