Description
Poggio Mandorlo Il Guardiano is the base wine of the Poggio Mandorlo winery, born from the desire to combine the rigor and clarity of Sangiovese with the roundness of Merlot, creating a wine far from wood and with a direct line from the vineyard to the bottle. Poggio Mandorlo Il Guardiano originates from vineyards in Maremma with marly and calcareous soils, which, together with the particularly warm climatic conditions, make this area perfect for the production of characterful red wines. The Sangiovese and Merlot are harvested separately and vinified with maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats; fermentation and maceration last for about 18 days with daily punch-downs and pump-overs. Subsequently, the wine is separated from the skins and aged in steel vats until the blending and bottling of Poggio Mandorlo Il Guardiano. Pairings: Poggio Mandorlo Il Guardiano is a wine suitable for pairing with pasta with meat or mushroom sauces, red meats, polenta crostini with cheese.
