Sotirio Sangiovese di Podernuovo a Palazzone: PRODUCTION PROCESS

The Sotirio Sangiovese di Podernuovo a Palazzone was produced with 100% Sangiovese grapes grown on the Podernuovo estate located in Palazzone, a hamlet of San Casciano dei Bagni (SI), characterized by a sandy-limestone soil with the presence of silt. After the harvest, which took place in the first ten days of October, with a yield of 40 quintals per hectare, the grapes were sent for vinification. Alcoholic fermentation took place in 1500-2500 liter truncated-cone oak vats, with the must macerating with the skins for 18-20 days. Before being marketed, the Sotirio Sangiovese di Podernuovo a Palazzone was aged for 14 months in 1000-liter oak barrels, and a further 20 months in the bottle.
