Poggio IGT
Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot 2019 Red Wine Cru
€29.99
In a bottle of “Poggio”, the typical and indigenous Barbera meets the most important red grapes in the world, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
With this triple blend we “rebuild”; letting the whole berries of our dried Bonarda macerate in the wine thus obtained, loaded like no other grape with overripe fruit aromas. After two years of aging, the smoky scents of Barbera, the power of Cabernet and Merlot, and the refined and intriguing delicacy of Bonarda create an irreverent, strong and at the same time incredibly round and unsettling, fine wine.
75 cl, 14,5% Vol.
An intense red wine with great structure and elegance. Distinctive fragrance with red fruits scent and spicy notes. Delicate and balanced taste, warm, full-bodied and smooth tannins. Very long finish.
This great wine finds a perfect harmony with meats, roasted beef, grilled meat, wild and selected cheese. Poured in decanter before consumption exalts its characteristics and qualities.
Serve at 16°C.
