Vintage: 2018

Located on the southeastern slope, Poggio al Granchio is a succulent, dense Brunello with the typical iron and blood-rich meat notes of Sangiovese. It has distinctive overtones of red and dark fruit, cherry, redcurrant, blackberry, myrtle and peach leaves, with a sapid, mineral finish. Poggio al Granchio is influenced by nearby Monte Amiata and a warmer, more continental climate, but with a wider day-night temperature range.

Tasting Notes: Dark ruby-red, with purplish highlights color with notes of dark, red fruit like cherry, redcurrant, blackberry and myrtle. Peach leaves and notes of blood-rich meat and flint. BGreat density with close knit, angular tannins and a sapid, mineral finish. With age, wine will display eeductive evolution, where the blood-rich meat component prevails.
